Since the beginning, life has relied upon the transmission of
messages. For the self-aware organic unit, these messages can relay
many different things. The messages may signal danger, the presence
of food or the other necessities of life, and many other things. In
many cases, these messages are informative to other units and require
no acknowledgement. As people created processes and machines, this
same principal was applied to societal communications. As an
example, severe weather warnings may be delivered through any number
of channels - a siren blowing, warnings delivered over television and
radio stations, and even through the use of flags on ships. The
expectation is that people hearing or seeing these warnings would
realize their significance and take appropriate action. In most
cases, no responding acknowledgement of receipt of the warning is
required or even desired.

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.
