The IESG has received a request from the Email Address Internationalization WG (eai) to consider the following document: - 'Post-delivery Message Downgrading for Internationalized Email Messages' <draft-ietf-eai-popimap-downgrade-07.txt> as Proposed Standard Please note: This document is one a set of four interdependent documents: draft-ietf-eai-5738bis draft-ietf-eai-popimap-downgrade draft-ietf-eai-rfc5721bis draft-ietf-eai-simpledowngrade These documents should be reviewed, evaluated, and understood together. The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-09-20. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The Email Address Internationalization (SMTPUTF8) extension to SMTP allows UTF-8 characters in mail header fields. Upgraded POP and IMAP servers support internationalized Email messages. If a POP/IMAP client does not support Email Address Internationalization, POP/IMAP servers cannot deliver Internationalized Email Headers to the client and cannot remove the message. To avoid the situation, this document describes a conversion mechanism for internationalized Email messages to be in traditional message format. In the process, message elements requiring internationalized treatment are recoded or removed and receivers are able to know that they received messages containing such elements even if they cannot process the internationalized elements. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-eai-popimap-downgrade/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-eai-popimap-downgrade/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
