Why not send it as an Message/external-body, with an access-type a la
"anon-ftp" ? That way it looks like we only have to discuss the
access-type, in
case we (?) choose for URL-???? a message could like something like:
---------------------------start message----------------------------
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type; Message/external-body;
name="portrait.gif";
site="www.bar.com";
access-type="URL-http"; // or anything else
directory="~/ed";
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
-------------------------end message ------
This is fine with me, but I have a question.
What it the site or name field need a non-ASCII string?
I am not clear whether I can use encoded words in these fields--do you know.
It would be nice to be able to associate an arbitrary (complete) URL
with any body part. And URLs can have characters greater than decimal 126.
Regards,
