I have read rfc1521 and draft-ietf-822ext-mime-imb-00.txt but I can't
find compression mechanism for MIME. As you know, picture or audio
data is too large. So, I think compression mechanism is very important
for MIME.
If current MIME has no compressin mechanism, I'd like to suggest a
subtype -- "compression" -- for Content-Transfer-Encoding:. For
example,
Content-Transfer-Encoding: Base64; Compression="gzip"
Before the detailed discussion on compression, or binary data in
general, I'd like to confirm that there is a consensus that CTE of
8bit or binary of MIME MUST be able to handle code points of non
graphic characters of ISO 2022 including NULL, a zero byte.
Any objections?
