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 : IMAP WINDOW Extension
Author(s) : C. Daboo, C. Newman
Filename : draft-ietf-imapext-window-00.txt
Pages : 13
Date : 26-Jun-01
The WINDOW extension to the Internet Message Access Protocol [IMAP4]
permits windowing of the results of specific IMAP commands, so that
clients can retrieve the results in ranges to implement paging of
results or virtual scrollbars. This eliminates the need to get and
manage the entire result set, improving scalability for large
mailboxes and slow connections.

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.
