A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories. This draft is a work item of the MIME Content-Type for SGML 
Documents Working Group of the IETF.                                       

       Title     : Message/External-Body Content-ID Access Type

When using MIME [MIME] to encapsulate a structured object that consist of 
many elements, for example an SGML [SGML] document, a single element may 
occur several times.  An encapsulation normally maps each of the structured
objects elements to a MIME entity.  It is useful to include elements that 
occur multiple time exactly once.  To accomplish that and to preserve the 
object structure it is desirable to unambiguously refer to another body 
part of the same message.                                     

The exsisting MIME Content-Type Message/External-Body access-types allow 
a MIME entity (body-part) to refer to an object that is not in the message 
by specifying how to access that object.  The Content-ID access method 
described in this document provides the capability to refer to an object 
within the message.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mimesgml-access-cid-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.
							
For questions, please mail to [e-mail].
