doh. i see another draft actually cites that stupid e-mail:

[C98] Neal Cardwell, "delayed ACKs for retransmitted packets: ouch!".
November 1998. Email to the tcpimpl mailing list, Message-ID
"Pine.LNX.4.02A.9811021421340.26785-100000@sake.cs.washington.edu",
archived at "http://tcp-impl.lerc.nasa.gov/tcp-impl".

i guess this becomes my first and only first-author publication... :-)

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the TCP Implementation Working Group of the IETF.

Title : The NewReno Modification to TCP's
Fast Recovery Algorithm
Author(s) : S. Floyd, T. Henderson
Filename : draft-ietf-tcpimpl-newreno-00.txt
Pages : 11
Date : 10-Nov-98

RFC 2001 [RFC2001] documents the following four intertwined TCP
congestion control algorithms: Slow Start, Congestion Avoidance, Fast
Retransmit, and Fast Recovery. RFC 2001-bis [RFC2001-bis] explicitly
allows certain modifications of these algorithms, including
modifications that use the TCP Selective Acknowledgement (SACK)
option [MMFR96], and modifications that respond to ``partial
acknowledgments'' (ACKs which cover new data, but not all the data
outstanding when loss was detected) in the absence of SACK. This
document describes a specific algorithm for responding to partial
acknowledgments, referred to as NewReno. This response to partial
acknowledgments was first proposed by Janey Hoe in [Hoe95].

Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-tcpimpl-newreno-00.txt".

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.


Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
