A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Voice Profile for Internet Mail Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Critical Content MIME Parameter
Author(s) : E. Burger
Filename : draft-ietf-vpim-cc-08.txt

This document describes the use of a mechanism for identifying
body parts that a sender deems critical in a multi-part Internet
mail message. The mechanism described is a parameter to Content-
Disposition, as described by RFC 3204.
By knowing what parts of a message the sender deems critical, a
content gateway can intelligently handle multi-part messages when
providing gateway services to systems of lesser capability.
Critical content can help a content gateway to decide what parts
to forward. It can indicate how hard a gateway should try to
deliver a body part. It can help the gateway to pick body parts
that are safe to silently delete when a system of lesser
capability receives a message. In addition, critical content can
help the gateway chose the notification strategy for the receiving
system. Likewise, if the sender expects the destination to do
some processing on a body part, critical content allows the sender
to mark body parts that the receiver must process.

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.
