	Title		: IMAP4 Implementation Recommendations

The IMAP4 specification [RFC-2060] describes a rich protocol for use
in building clients and servers for storage, retrieval, and
manipulation of electronic mail.  Because the protocol is so rich and
has so many implementation choices, there are often trade-offs that
must be made and issues that must be considered when designing such
clients and servers.  This document attempts to outline these issues
and to make recommendations in order to make the end products as
interoperable as possible.

In the body type:

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.
