Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) provides a means of conducting structured
transactions between trading partners.  The delivery mechanism for these 
types of transactions in a paper world has been the postal system, so it is
to be expected that electronic mail would serve as a natural delivery 
mechanism for electronic transactions.  This specification permits 
formatted electronic business interchanges to be encapsulated within MIME 
messages [Bore92].  For the specification effort, the basic building block 
from EDI is an interchange.

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.	
	                                                
Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-edi-mime-01.txt".
 Or 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-edi-mime-01.ps".
							
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.
							
For questions, please mail to [e-mail].
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
