A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Detailed Revision/Update of Message Standards 
Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: The ''Message-ID'' header
	Author(s)	: J. Palme
	Filename	: draft-ietf-drums-message-id-00.txt
	Pages		: 3
	Date		: 03-Dec-97
	
This is a proposal of a text to include msgfmt in order to clarify the
relation between changes in the ''Message-ID'' header and other parts of
a message. This information is important, because many mailers use the
''Message-ID'' to eliminate duplicates of the same message, and
information may be lost if this is not done the right way.
 
Temporary note
 
This document does not at this time (21 November 1997) represent any
consensus opinion in the drums working group.

Send a message to:	mailserv@ds.internic.net.  In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-drums-message-id-00.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
