A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Voice Profile for Internet Mail Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Critical Content MIME Parameter
Author(s) : E. Burger
Filename : draft-ietf-vpim-cc-06.txt
Pages : 18
Date : 12-Apr-02
This document describes the use of a mechanism for identifying body
parts that a sender deems critical in a multi-part Internet mail
message. The mechanism described is a parameter to Content-
Disposition, as described by RFC 3204.
By knowing what parts of a message the sender deems critical, a
content gateway can intelligently handle multi-part messages when
providing gateway services to systems of lesser capability.
Critical content can help a content gateway to decide what parts to
forward. It can indicate how hard a gateway should try to deliver a
body part. It can help the gateway to pick body parts that are safe
to silently delete when a system of lesser capability receives a
message. In addition, critical content can help the gateway chose
the notification strategy for the receiving system. Likewise, if
the sender expects the destination to do some processing on a body
part, critical content allows the sender to mark body parts that the
receiver must process.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-vpim-cc-06.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org 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 of the
Internet-Draft.
