Message format
In telecommunication, a message format is a predetermined or prescribed spatial or time-sequential arrangement of the parts of a message that is recorded in or on a data storage medium.
At one time, messages prepared for electrical transmission were composed on a printed blank form with spaces for each part of the message and for administrative entries. Nowadays, they are typically composed on a terminal.
