I apologize for the short notice. This announcement should have been
sent to this list, also.
The PEM working group has been working on the integration of the PEM and
MIME technologies. There are two documents resulting from this work,
one of which represents the specification of two new multipart subtypes,
of which this message is an example of one.
Enclose below is the announcement for the security multiparts
specification. This document will be discussed in the PEM working group
meeting next week, tuesday morning at 9:30am. The authors believe this
document is complete, so now is the time to read it and participate in
its final review.
Thanks,
Jim

A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the Privacy-Enhanced Electronic
Mail Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Security Multiparts for MIME:
Multipart/Signed and Multipart/Encrypted
Author(s) : J. Galvin, S. Murphy, S. Crocker, N. Freed
Filename : draft-ietf-pem-sigenc-02.txt
Pages : 10
Date : 11/23/1994
This document defines two new content types for specifying the application
of security services to MIME message bodies. MIME, an acronym for
"Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions", defines the format of the contents
of Internet mail messages and provides for multi-part textual and
non-textual message bodies. The new content types are subtypes of
multipart: signed and encrypted. Each will contain two body parts: one for
the protected data and one for the control information necessary to remove
the protection. The type and contents of the control information body
parts are determined by the value of the protocol parameter of the
enclosing multipart/signed or multipart/encrypted content type, which is
required to be present.
Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username

Send a message to: mailserv(_at_)ds(_dot_)internic(_dot_)net(_dot_) In the
body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-pem-sigenc-02.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
