and Binary Message Headers

This memo defines two new service extensions to the SMTP service. The
first service enables a SMTP server to indicate the maximum size
RFC822 header it is willing to accept in a message. The second
enables a SMTP client and server to negotiate the use of 8bit or or
8bit encoded binary contents within the message header. This memo
specifies the algorithms necessary for the interworking between
extended clients with a large and binary header and non-extended SMTP
servers.
It is expected this document may be split into three, 1) The ESMTP
messageheader SIZE extension, 2) the ESMTP 8bit message header
encoding extension, and 3) the registration of the

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.
