IMAP extensions for voice messaging

Folks,

For those who are interested there will be a short discussion on
requirements (and maybe some possible solutions) for IMAP extensions for
voice messaging at the Orlando IETF.

I think the feeling is that this would be outside the scope of the proposed
IMAPEXT BOF that met in Chicago.

Essentially, we are initially thinking of a short list of IMAP extensions
that would assist voice mail (and likely 'unified messaging') systems:

  - binary attachment transfer
  - external reference (e.g., use phone for playback)
  - alternate codec request (i.e., server please transcode) 
  - streaming audio attachments

Actually the extensions may become a part of VPIM (RFC2421) and not require
any extensions 'per se' in IMAP.

If you are interested, please join us in Pelican B, Tuesday at 1pm.

Cheers,
Glenn.

IMAP extensions for voice

Folks,

Following on from the informal BOF in Orlando we have set up a mailing list
to discuss extensions to IMAP4 in support of voice messaging system
requirements.  The goal is to standardize these extensions in the IETF.

As discussed in Orlando, the current featrues of interest are:
	  - Binary attachment transfer
	  - External reference (e.g., use phone for playback)
	  - Alternate codec request (i.e., server please transcode) 
	  - Streaming audio attachments
	  - Message length indicator (seconds for voice, pages for fax)
	  - Body part read indicator (separate for voice, fax and other)

Cheers,
