 A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
 directories. This draft is a work item of the MIME Encapsulation of 
 Aggregate HTML Documents Working Group of the IETF.                       

       Title     : MIME E-mail Encapsulation of Aggregate Documents, 
                   such as HTML (MHTML)                                         
       Author(s) : J. Palme, A. Hopman

       Pages     : 17

Although HTML [RFC 1866] was designed within the context of MIME, more than
the specification of HTML as defined in RFC 1866 is needed for two 
electronic mail user agents to be able to interoperate using HTML as a 
document format. These issues include the naming of objects that are 
normally referred to by URIs, and the means of aggregating objects that go 
together. This document describes a set of guidelines that will allow 
conforming mail user agents to be able to send, deliver and display these 
objects, such as HTML objects, that can contain links represdented by URIs.
In order to be able to handle inter-linked objects, the document proposes 
to use the MIME type multipart/related and specifies the MIME 
content-headers "Content-Location" and "Content-Base".

Send a message to:  mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mhtml-spec-02.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 Internet-Drafts@ietf.org
							

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