This document describes a Virtual List View extension for the
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Search operation. This
extension is designed to allow the 'virtual list box' feature, common
in existing commercial e-mail address book applications, to be
supported efficiently by LDAP servers. LDAP servers' inability to
support this client feature is a significant impediment to LDAP
replacing proprietary protocols in commercial e-mail systems.
The extension allows a client to specify that the server return, for
a given LDAP search with associated sort keys, a contiguous subset of
the search result set. This subset is specified in terms of offsets
into the ordered list, or in terms of a greater than or equal
comparison value.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ldapext-ldapv3-vlv-09.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org 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.
