I just read a submission from a few Microsoft engineers for the encapsulation of multiple arbitrary messages into a single binary message attachment. The submission is called Direct Internet Message Encapsulation (DIME). I am trying to understand why they did not just use the ZIP encoding standard since everything that is in the DIME spec is already in place within a ZIP encoded file and there are hundreds of implementations of ZIP already in place.
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Jim McCarthy Symmetry Solutions, Inc. - Leading Web Services Development http://www.symmetrysolutions.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
