Technical Summary

The cellular telephone industry has defined a service known as the
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS).  This service uses formats and
protocols which are similar to, but differ in key ways from those
used in Internet mail. This document specifies how to exchange messages between
these two services, including mapping information elements as used in MMS
X-Mms-* headers as well as delivery and disposition reports, to and
from that used in ESMTP and Internet message headers.

Working Group Summary

The LEMONADE working group  came to consensus on the publication of this
document.  No issues were raised during IETF Last Call.  This work was
coordinated with 3GPP and 3GPP2 by the author and working group chairs. 
The document was approved, but the approval appealed by John Klensin.

the issues raised.  This document contains the changes made by the working
group post-appeal and after a second IETF Last Call.
