UPDATED MIME DRAFT

1992-03-23 19:33:38
I have made a new (March) version of the MIME document available on
thumper.  Those of you who are extremely picky about wording may want to
give it a read.   There are basically only two changes from the February
version:

1.  It now includes more explanation about the
newlines-in-quoted-printable problem.  This prose represents Ned's
attempt to satisfy both sides, and includes NO CHANGE in the actual
technical content of MIME.

2.  It now includes much more precise language to refer to message
bodies, body parts, etc.  These changes were provided by Alain Fontaine,
and also represent NO CHANGE in the technical content of MIME.

Because I know you may want to read only the changed parts, I have made
two additional files available:

"newline-clarifications" -- contains only Ned's clarifications about the
newline-in-quoted-printable issue.

"body-part-clarifications" -- contains only Alain's clarifications of
the body vs. body-part terminology.

Aside from these two matters of clarified wording, I am unaware of ANY
outstanding objections to the February draft.  Could the chair please
clarify to the group what the next step is -- I assume that unless there
is objection to this new draft SOON, it will be sent back to the IESG?

PS -- As usual, you can get the documents via anonymous ftp from
thumper.bellcore.com.  The directory is pub/nsb, and the relevant files
are

BodyFormats.ps
BodyFormats.txt
body-part-clarifications
newline-clarifications

Please let me know if you want one of these but don't have FTP access.
