The Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) defines a mechanism for
sending instant messages within a session, established using the
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). This document describes how MSRP
can be used to create multi-party message sessions using the tightly
coupled conferencing model. It defines conventions and extensions for
enabling features similar to many existing services in the Internet,
e.g., Internet Relay Chat (IRC) based chat rooms, such as setting up
nicknames, sending private messages to a subset of the multy-party
conferece, etc.

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-niemi-simple-chat-00.txt".
	
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.
