The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'IMAP4 Binary Content Extension" <draft-nerenberg-imap-binary-07.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ned Freed and Patrik Faltstrom. Technical Summary This memo defines the BINARY extension to the Internet Message Access Protocol [IMAP4rev1]. It provides a mechanism for IMAP4 clients and servers to exchange message body data without using a MIME content-transfer-encoding. Working Group Summary This specification has been reviewed in both the IMAPEXT and VPIM working groups. Protocol Quality Ned Freed reviewed this document for the IESG. RFC Editor note: The <section-binary> production now includes surrounding square brackets so the subsection title of "BINARY.SIZE[<section-binary>]" in section 6.3 needs to be changed to read "BINARY.SIZE<section-binary>".
