Therefore, I am asking the list's indulgence in the following:

      We remove the image/g3fax content-type ENTIRELY from the MIME spec

Since image/g3fax is necesary for MIME/MHS interworking, this seems
the best course.

Marshall:

Since we have  at least 2 working bitmap formats  defined already, and I
have tools to beat  a G3FAX into one of those two formats,  I wish to go
on record that  I'd rather get MIME  out the door *now*, and  wait a few
months for  a G3FAX definition that  *works*. I have needs  for the rest
of MIME that outweigh the loss of G3FAX.

As a  *full* MIME-MHS gateway  will become important  to us in  the near
future, can you give an estimate if this decoupling will speed, slow, or
not affect work on a gateway document?
