Re: Web and Mail integration: a few key connections.

interactive-text/telnet; TERM=vt220
interactive-text/tn3270 (this really is a different protocol)
interactive-text/rlogin
interactive-text/x25pad
interactive-text/lat
interactive-text/cterm
interactive-text/dialup; PN="+1.615.555.1212"
interactive-audio/vat
interactive-video/nv  (but the names should describe protocols, not
                      specific tools)

Interesting.  But it makes me wonder why these wouldn't fall under
"message/external-body" (or maybe a future "application/external-connect").
i.e. "the information you are looking for is available via tn3270 at
such and such an address".  The main difference to current external-body
handling is that it isn't expected that there is a MIME message at the
other end, hence the "application/external-connect" suggestion.

Maybe I just don't understand what needs to be done.

Cheers,

Rhys.
