A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Enhancements to Internet email to support diverse service environments Working Group of the IETF.
Title : IMAP CHANNEL Protocol and Use Cases

Environments that extend beyond traditional text-based e-mail use
IMAP4 to serve rich media content. One example is a cellular
telephone that can retrieve and send MIME-encoded audio data through
IMAP4. While IMAP4 can exchange this type of content, some
applications will work better if the message content can be
manipulated using schemes external to the IMAP4 connection. In our
cellular telephone example, it might be preferable for the telephone
client to retrieve the audio data using RTSP. This specification
defines a mechanism for an IMAP4 client to request message content
from a server through an external scheme.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-lemonade-imap-channel-00.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.
