Title : The Qpopper MIME Mangling and Macro Extensions to POP3
Author(s) : R. Gellens
Filename : draft-gellens-pop-mangle-02.txt
Pages : 10

This document describes two extensions to the POP protocol that have
been supported for several years by some client and servers. One
extension, MANGLE, allows clients to request that MIME body parts be
removed or converted to a simpler format, that only selected headers
be transmitted, and/or for the message to be transcoded to a
different character set. The other extension, MACRO, allows clients
to define macros which are expanded when used, saving repetitive
transmissions.
The MANGLE extension has been useful in at least two situations: it
allows clients on constrained devices to avoid downloading body
parts which cannot be used on the device, and clients which use the
TOP command to "peek" at messages can have the preview transformed
into more usable content, as well as avoiding the transmission of
undesired headers. The MACRO extension has been especially useful
in conjunction with MANGLE, since a MANGLE request can become
relatively lengthy.
