Content-Type: text/html

I have just submitted new versions of the mhtml -spec and -info documents.
Until they get uploaded to the IETF drafts directories, you can get them
from
ftp://ftp.dsv.su.se/users/jpalme/draft-ietf-mhtml-spec-06.txt
ftp://ftp.dsv.su.se/users/jpalme/draft-ietf-mhtml-info-06.txt

The differences between the old and the new versions are:

Changes from draft-ietf-mhtml-spec-05 to draft-ietf-mhtml-spec-06
=================================================================

I do not believe that any of these changes is controversial.

The following text has been added as a temporary preface:
--------------------------------------------------------

A note to the RFC editor: If the memo referenced as [HTML-I18N] has not
been assigned an RFC number when the memo below is published, you will
have to remove the references to [HTML-I18N]. That reference is not
crucial to the memo below.

Changes to the main text
--------------------------

Some trivial errors in the examples have been corrected: A few
erroneous double-quotes where the syntax does not specify quoting has
been removed and "http:/" has been changed to "http://" in one place.

Changes to the list of references:
---------------------------------

Some references to IETF drafts have been changed to refer to RFCs,
since these drafts have now been published as RFCs.

Changes to the list of authors:
------------------------------

The organization and address for Alexander Hopmann has been updated.


Changes from draft-ietf-mhtml-info-05 to draft-ietf-mhtml-info-06
=================================================================

I do not believe that any of these changes is controversial.

Added text immediately before chapter 4.1:
-----------------------------------------

Below is described different implementation methods. Real
implementations may sometimes combine ideas from more than one of the
different methods described below.

New text for chapter 8.2:
--------------------------

Multipart/alternative outside Multipart/related

(b) The multipart/alterantive is put outside the Multipart/Related,
with Multipart/Related as one alternative and Multipart/Mixed as the
other alternative. Note however that the [MHTML] does not recommend
links from inside Multipart/Related to objects outside of the
Multipart/Related, so putting inline images outside the
Multipart/Related is not suitable. Instead, such inline images may have
to repeated in both branches of the multipart/alternative with this
method.

Example:

   Content-Type: MULTIPART/ALTERNATIVE
   Boundary: boundary-example-1

   --boundary-example-1
      Content-Type: Multipart/mixed; boundary="boundary-example-3"

      --boundary-example-3
         Content-Type: Text/plain; charset=US-ASCII

         ... plain text version of the message for recipients
         whose mailers cannot handle Text/HTML ...

      --boundary-example-3
      Content-Type: Image/GIF

         ... A picture associated with the plain text message  ...
      --boundary-example-3--

   --boundary-example-1
      Content-Type: Multipart/related; boundary="boundary-example-1";
                    type=Text/HTML

      --boundary-example 2
         Content-Type: Text/HTML; charset=US-ASCII
         Content-ID: <a href="/cgi-bin/wa?LOGON=A3%3Dind9701%26L%3DMHTML%26E%3D0%26P%3D44848%26B%3D--%26T%3Dtext%252Fplain%3B%2520charset%3Dus-ascii" >[log in to unmask]</a>

         ... text of the HTML document ...

      --boundary-example-2
      Content-Type: Image/GIF

         ... a body part, to which the HTML document has a link  ...
      --boundary-example-2--
   --boundary-example-1--

Changes to the list of references
---------------------------------

Some references have been changed from referring to IETF drafts to
refer to the corresponding RFC.
