Two very basic questions, but I need confirmation.
In the context of X.400-transport and X.400-wrap:
1) When an X.400 UA receives a message, the CMS object
in the message can
yield either a canonical MIME message or an X.400
Content (IPM/EDI/etc).
Is this correct?
Yes, that's possible. A more useful scenario is that the X.400
UA communicates with other X.400 UAs that use S/MIME with WRAP
and TRANSPORT. Other UAs that are MIME-aware may share the same
X.400 transport infrastructure and support both X.400 and MIME
content. This allows use of S/MIME in pure X.400 environments,
and provides a migration path to MIME content.
2) By the same token, when an Internet MIME UA
receives an S/MIME message,
the CMS object in the message can yield either a
canonical MIME message
or an X.400 Content.
Is this correct?
Again correct.
Best Regards,
Hari.
