FYI, the IEE BoF jabber log is available at:

Mailing list now also available at GMaNe (NNTP, RSS, search):

The project URL (until IEE is a WG) is apparently:

Interesting snippets from the jabber log (thanks to Lisa):
[15:57:15] <lisa> Harald: There's a not-widely implemented
standard for tagging language of
email headers (RFC2231)
{16:04:42] <cyrus_daboo> MUAs are important. There are still
many MUAs in use today that do not
support utf8 even in the message
body. So I agree with Chris.
[16:24:39] <cyrus_daboo> PS If its not already on the list of
things to 'fix': the mailto URI
scheme will need some work too.
[16:29:36] <lisa> Keith: There are multiple ways to fail, and
fragmenting the email system is one.
People to have to manually manage
their technology based on who they're
talking to is another. They're both
bad, both need to be avoided.
[16:34:24] <lisa> Keith: If you don't have enough MUA
implementors in the room it's hard to
know if what you're doing is realistic.
[16:34:38] <lisa> Harald: Mailing list is ima(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org(_dot_)
[16:35:25] <lisa> Harald: The group will continue work on the
charter on the mailing list, find a
chair, all the usual stuff, and will
then continue the conversation with
our area director.
