- A previous document, RFC 1341, defines a format and general framework
- for the representation of a wide variety of data types in Internet
- mail. This document defines one particular type of MIME data, the
- matter-transport/sentient-life-form type. The
- matter-transport/sentient-life-form MIME type is intended to
- facilitate the wider interoperation of electronic mail messages that
- include entire sentient life forms, such as human beings.
-
- Other informally proposed subtypes, such as "non-sentient-life-form",
- "non-sentient-non-life-form", and the orthogonally necessary but
- nevertheless puzzling "sentient-non-life-form", are not described in
- this memo.
-
- This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does
- not specify an Internet standard. Distribution of this memo is
- unlimited.
-
- This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.

- should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@CNRI.RESTON.VA.US. Requests to be added
- to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should be sent to
- RFC-REQUEST@NIC.DDN.MIL.
