A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Clearing attributes on non-referenced material
Author(s) : A. Buxey
Filename : draft-buxey-document-00.txt
Pages : 10

RFC 822 [RFC0822] defines many headers which can be applied to email
messages and RFC 2076 [RFC2076] provides a simple summary of the
commonly occurring headers in headings of e-mail messages. Both of
these RFCs define the 'In-Reply-To' and 'References' fields - which
have since had their definitions improved in RFC 2822 [RFC2822] and
RFC 1036 [RFC1036] respectively. These fields are used by 'thread
capable' email clients to display messages grouped together in
organised parent/child relationships that enable the reader to follow
a train of thought or a process of information dissemination.
However, if a reply to such a threaded message does not contain
relevant follow-up information or is used as a platform to deliver a
new message with new subject, then that reply is put within the
already existing thread. This is known as 'Thread-Jacking'. This
draft proposes a couple of techniques which can be undertaken to
resolve this issue within the scope of email.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-buxey-document-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.
