Re: [EAI] Re: DRAFT agenda, EAI WG



Thanks for the feedback, Frank. I've added the issue of "message/utf8" under "issues" on this agenda point.

What would you suggest that we allocate as a timeslot, and what would you suggest we take time away from?

Are the times UTC ?

the earlier we can bash the agenda, the better!

1610: DSN
  Issues:
  - xtext encoding and utf8-enc encoding of addresses
  - application/utf8smtp vs message/utf8smtp
  Draft: draft-ietf-eai-dsn-00

That's rather short for message/utf8. Ideally you get hold of John's "MIME experts", and let them explain how the introduction of a new message/utf8 superset of the known message/rfc822 affects the MIME 1.0 architecture for 8bit and 7bit.

That includes message/rfc822 parts in a message/utf8,
message/utf8 parts in a message/rfc822, and as contrast
message/foo parts in a message/utf8 or message/rfc822.

Each case as pure 7bit, pure 8bit, 7bit within 8bit,
and the impossibilty of 8bit within 7bit - that case
might be what you mean with an "application/utf8smtp".

[[ I think it should also cover how to encapsulate
   8bit message/foo parts by a "8to7" gateway, IMO a
   message/utf8 is a special case of message/foo wrt
   8BITMIME to 7bit gateways. ]]

Some here apparently hope to introduce UTF-8 in MIME
header fields and MIME part headers.  Ask the experts
if that would require a MIME version 2.0 (as I think).

10 minutes, maybe five for the xtext encoding, with
only five minutes you can't discuss this.  And please
give the invited (?) MIME experts some time to prepare
for these issues.

Frank
