Showstopper from EUnet for RFC-MIME

1992-03-03 11:34:21

Hello,

On behalf of the EUnet backbone assembly I herewith present
the following resolution:

Regards,
-- Ted.

The following resolution was approved at the recent EUnet backbone
assembly in Hammamet, Tunesia 1992-02-17.
Votes: 17 for/0 against/3 abstain.

EUnet, as a network organisation operation in 24 countries in Europe and
North Africa, has a need for multilingual character set support.
The MNEMONIC proposal in RFC-CHAR covers this need in a backward
compatible interoperable fashion, and has been adopted as the EUnet
standard and is in use since July 1990.

Without minimal support for MNEMONIC, the RFC-MIME is unacceptable
for EUnet.

The minimal support requested consists of recognizing MNEMONIC as a
charset and to be able to display this data as ASCII, for minimal
conformance to RFC-MIME.

Keld Simonsen <keld(_at_)dkuug(_dot_)dk> is the appointed contact for EUnet in
this matter.
