[Jmap] JMAP spec status

[Neil Jenkins <[e-mail]>]

As you probably saw, I pushed a new draft of the core and mail specs
before the IETF101 cutoff. I have merged the Email object changes, since
these seem to have broad support, with the following minor changes:
 * The ability to add the :all modifier[1] to get all instances of a
   header. e.g. the "header:received:all" property would return an array
   containing the raw values of each Received header field (in the order
   they appear in the message).
 * An initial suggested algorithm for decomposing bodyStructure[2] into
   textBody/htmlBody/attachedEmails/attachedFiles – feedback welcome on
   improvements to this, as while it should work well for conformant
   messages, I expect people may have real-world experience of hacks
   required to display malformed messages seen in the wild well. It
   would be great to pool some of this experience into the suggested
   algorithm.
 * The attachedFiles array is now defined to also contain[3] any images
   that are just in textBody or htmlBody but not in both. It's easy for
   a client to skip them when rendering attachments if the body list the
   client used already contains it (you can just compare the partId),
   but without this important content might disappear when rendering one
   of the text/html versions.
The latest drafts of core/mail are available in standard IETF formats
from the datatracker[4] site, or the same content is available with
better formatting on the jmap.io website (core spec[5]/mail spec[6]).
Almost all the GitHub issues[7] have now been resolved. The remaining
few tasks are mainly some IANA updates, which should be easy to get
done at IETF101. So now is the time to do a final review of the two
specs and raise any remaining issues in advance of the conference! I
plan to review the changes since Singapore, and we can go over any
remaining issues, but my hope is to have this finished and published
before IETF102.
Cheers,
Neil.
