The ARK (Archival Resource Key) is a scheme intended to facilitate
the persistent naming and retrieval of information objects. It
comprises an identifier syntax and three services. An ARK has four
components:
[http://NMAH/]ark:/NAAN/Name
an optional and mutable Name Mapping Authority Hostport part (NMAH,
where 'hostport' is a hostname followed optionally by a colon and
port number), the 'ark:' label, the Name Assigning Authority Number
(NAAN), and the assigned Name. The NAAN and Name together form the
immutable persistent identifier for the object.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-kunze-ark-08.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.
