Title : SMTP extension for internationalized email address
Author(s) : X. Lee, J. Yao
Filename : draft-yao-ima-smtpext-01.txt
Pages : 12
Date : 2006-1-27
Internationalized eMail Address (IMA) includes two parts, the local
part and the domain part. IMA is different from the
internationalizing domain name (IDN). These are different
infrastructures. IDN can not use the negotiation mechanism. IMA can
use some negotiation mechanisms which provide us a good platform to
solve the problem of IMA. So IMA should be solved in the mail
transport-level using the negotiation mechanism, which is an
architecturally desirable approach. This document specifies the use
of SMTP extension for IMA delivery. It also mentions the backward
compatible mechanism for downgrade procedure, as specified in an
associated specification. The protocol proposed here is MTA-level
solution which is feasible, architecturally more elegant, and not as
difficult to deploy in relevant communities.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-yao-ima-smtpext-01.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.
