Folks,
It's been a long, five-year road. The result is primarily due to the discussion that took place here, so I'd like to thank you all for sticking with the effort.
d/ -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RFC 5598 on Internet Mail Architecture Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2009 14:50:20 -0700 (PDT) From: [email protected] To: [email protected], [email protected] CC: [email protected] A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 5598 Title: Internet Mail Architecture Author: D. Crocker Status: Informational Date: July 2009 Mailbox: [email protected] Pages: 54 Characters: 115741 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-crocker-email-arch-14.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5598.txt Over its thirty-five-year history, Internet Mail has changed significantly in scale and complexity, as it has become a global infrastructure service. These changes have been evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, reflecting a strong desire to preserve both its installed base and its usefulness. To collaborate productively on this large and complex system, all participants need to work from a common view of it and use a common language to describe its components and the interactions among them. But the many differences in perspective currently make it difficult to know exactly what another participant means. To serve as the necessary common frame of reference, this document describes the enhanced Internet Mail architecture, reflecting the current service.
