A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the Internet Message Extensions
Working Group of the IETF.
Title : MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) Part One:
Mechanisms for Specifying and Describing the Format of
Internet Message Bodies
Author(s) : N. Borenstein, N. Freed
Filename : draft-ietf-822ext-mime-imb-00.txt, .ps
Pages : 92

STD 11, RFC 822 defines a message representation protocol which specifies
considerable detail about message headers, but which leaves the message
content, or message body, as flat ASCII text. This document redefines the
format of message bodies to allow multi-part textual and non-textual
message bodies to be represented and exchanged without loss of information.
This is based on earlier work documented in RFC 934, STD 11, and RFC 1049,
but extends and revises that work. Because RFC 822 said so little about
message bodies, this document is largely orthogonal to (rather than a
revision of) RFC 822.
In particular, this document is designed to provide facilities to include
multiple objects in a single message, to represent body text in character
sets other than US-ASCII, to represent formatted multi-font text messages,
to represent non-textual material such as images and audio fragments, and
generally to facilitate later extensions defining new types of
Internet mail for use by cooperating mail agents.
