HTTP and HTML provide the facility to query the user and return the
results. This is usually done in the query component of an URL. This
mechanisms works with full satisfaction for characters of the us-
ascii repertoire. Due to the lack of an agreed encoding for other
characters, the situation is much less satisfactory for characters
outside the us-ascii repertoire.

Send a message to:	[e-mail].  In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-duerst-query-i18n-00.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ds.internic.net 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
Internet-Draft.
