	Title		: SMTP Service Extension for Priority Message Handling

   This memo defines an extension to the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer
   Protocol) service whereby messages are sent with a priority to
   achieve a certain order in which the messages are transferred by a
   Mail Server.  This priority or precedence order is used instead of
   the first-come-first-serve rule.  This extension is not to be
   confused with ^Importance of a Message^ which is widely deployed
   using an email header such as Importance or even Priority or
   Precedence with common values of HIGH, NORMAL and LOW.  Importance of
   a Message does not affect the priority of the transport itself in any
   way.  Nevertheless, there may be policy defined relations between
   priorities and importance indicators.

   This extension uses the term priority in the meaning of expedited
   treatment of a message by the server according to its priority.

Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-schmeing-smtp-priorities-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.

implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
