The mailto: URI uses a query syntax to indicate the values of various email headers. There is one special case, namely that a header field name of 'body' does not indicate an actual header field, but gives the text that should go into the body of the (prototype) message. Bruce Lilly suggested that, in order to avoid that anybody else would define a header field named 'body' in the future, this header field should be duly registered with IANA. (see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/uri/2005Apr/0002). I think this is a very good idea. I have prepared a registration template in my draft-duerst-mailto-bis (unfortunately, that part didn't make it into the -02.txt version I submitted yesterday). Because the situation is a bit special, I would like to get your expert feedback. The registration template currently looks as follows: Header field name: Body Applicable protocol: none Status: reserved Author/Change controller: IETF Specification document(s): Internet-Draft draft-duerst-mailto-bis-03.txt (Note to RFC Editor: Replace this with RFC YYYY (RFC number of this specification)) Related information: This registration serves to reserve the header field name 'Body' for use only in mailto: URIs and in similar situations where the body of a message has to be given an explicit name.
