This Internet Draft describes some  extensions  to the  Post Office
Protocol [POP3] and are described here for historical purposes.  The
status of  this  Internet Draft will be Historic.
 
[XTND] describes a mechanism to  extend  the  POP3 protocol,  called
XTND.  Two extensions which have been implemented on some  server
implementations  are  XTND XMIT  and  XTND  XLST; this memo describes
these extensions.
 
New implementations of POP3  clients  and  servers are  not  expected to
implement these extensions; other mechanisms should be used instead.
For example, [SMTP] should  be used instead of XTND XMIT for sending
email. If authentication is needed for sending email, then the proposed
[ESMTP] [AUTH] extension should be used.

Send a message to:	mailserv at ietf.org.  In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-hansen-pop3-xtndext-00.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.
