- RFC 1502:
-
- Title: X.400 Use of Extended Character Sets
- Author: H. Alvestrand
- Mailbox: Harald.Alvestrand@delab.sintef.no
- Pages: 14
- Characters: 27,976
- Updates/Obsoletes: none
-
-
- Since 1988, X.400 has had the capacity for carrying a large number of
- different character sets in a message by using the body part
- "GeneralText" defined by ISO/IEC 10021-7. Since 1992, the Internet
- also has the means of passing around messages containing multiple
- character sets, by using the mechanism defined in RFC 1341 (MIME).
- This RFC defines a suggested method of using "GeneralText" in order
- harmonize as much as possible the usage of this body part.
-
- This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.
-
- This RFC specifies an IAB standards track protocol for the Internet
- community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
- Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol
- Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
- Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
