- The mailing list for MIME is IETF-822@dimacs.Rutgers.EDU.

- The issue of integration of PEM with MIME is right now being discussed within
- an `internal group' of MIME/PEM folks. You can check with Marshall Rose or
- Einar Stefferud to get a current status. Presently, PEM in MIME is not
- formally defined yet, so you should not be doing any implementations unless
- you're prepared to be one of the pioneers with arrows in their backs.

- I hope that Chris Newman answered questions 2-6 to your satisfaction.

- Yes. It's much longer than I would like it to be.

- The current focus is to get acceptable DOS/Mac clients going and in particular
- to get PC Pine ready for prime time. I just finished the code to allow local
- file MIME parsing in DOS without requiring you to have the entire message in
- memory. We have a DOS local file format driver; pretty much the mail.txt
- format. None of us are very happy with it; I think we need more of an mh
- style format, while my boss wants a /usr/spool/mail format. Fortunately, c-
- client allows you to write as many drivers as you want.
-
- I hope to be able to get back to development (I don't consider DOS ports
- `development') and in particular getting IMAP2bis fully implemented in c-
- client Real Soon Now.
