The Simple Commerce Messaging Protocol (SCMP) is a general-purpose
commerce transport protocol for securely communicating a set of data
from a sending agent's application to a receiving agent's server. And,
where the response by the receiving agent's sever to the sending agent
is, in fact, the reply from the request represented by the set of
data in the message's payload. The intent of this protocol is to
define a method where trading partners can perform on-line business
requests in an environment where the sending partner is fully
authenticated, and the message cannot be repudiated.

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
