The mission of LEMONADE -- Internet Messaging to support diverse service 
environments -- is to provide a set of enhancements and profiles to Internet email to facilitate operation on platforms with constrained resources, or communications links with high latency or limited bandwidth. The enhanced mail service must continue to support conventional environments seamlessly. 
The primary driver for this effort is, by making Internet mail protocols 
richer and more media and environment-savvy, to allow their use over the 
mobile Internet.   
Stressing the needs of wireless handheld devices, a discussion is given of what is required of Internet messaging protocols to enable the support of multimedia messaging on limited capability messaging clients in diverse service environments. Also included is a list of general principles to guide the design of the enhanced messaging protocols. Finally, some issues around providing seamless service between enhanced Internet email and the existing separate mobile messaging infrastructure are briefly listed.

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.
