A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Internet Message Access Protocol Extension Working
Group of the IETF.
Title : INTERNET MESSAGE ACCESS PROTOCOL - THREAD EXTENSION
Author(s) : M. Crispin, K. Murchison
Filename : draft-ietf-imapext-thread-05.txt
Pages : 13
Date : 15-Nov-00
This document describes the server-based threading extension to the
IMAP4rev1 protocol. This extension provides substantial performance
improvements for IMAP clients which offer threaded views.
A server which supports this extension indicates this with more or
more capability names consisting of 'THREAD-' followed by a supported
threading algorithm name as described in this document. This
provides for future upwards-compatible extensions.

In the body type:

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.
