CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_
Reported by Steve Thompson/Soft-Switch
Minutes of the MIME-MHS Interworking Working Group (MIMEMHS)
Document Review
The Group reviewed the status of the three MIMEMHS documents in
progress.
o Mapping Between X.400 and RFC-822 Message Bodies - Stable.
o Equivalences Between 1988 X.400 and RFC-822 Message Bodies -
Stable.
o Harpoon: Rules for downgrading messages from X.400/88 to X.400/84
when MIME content-types are present in the messages - Issues Still
Outstanding.
The consensus was that the Mapping and the Equivalence documents could
be forwarded for approval as Proposed Standards, but that HARPOON needs
to be discussed further.
HARPOON Discussion
The remainder of the meeting was spent discussing HARPOON, which covers
MIME-X.400(84) interworking. Some alternative MIME to X.400(84)
approaches were discussed at length and discarded. The only HARPOON
issue that had not reached closure was the body part format of MIME
messages in an X.400 message. This issue had been discussed on the
list, but no consensus was reached. There were good arguments for each
solution, but everybody agreed that one solution was better than
supporting both. Consensus was reached on going with the IA5 body part
rather than a Binary one. Harald Alvestrand will update the HARPOON
document and reissue a final draft within the next week or so.
The Group decided to forward all three documents for approval as
Proposed Standards, once the HARPOON editing is complete.
