A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : An extension to IMAP BODYSTRUCTURE for returning
Content-Location information

The [IMAP4] BODYSTRUCTURE FETCH data item allows a client to learn about
the MIME structure of a message without the need to download the entire
message.
This document extends the syntax of the [IMAP4] BODYSTRUCTURE FETCH
response data item to include information from the Content-Location
header field described in [MHTML]. This extension helps MHTML-aware
IMAP clients to save both the number of round trips and the amount of
information sent across the network.
Fallback strategies are also discussed when an IMAP server doesn't
support this extension.

Send a message to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-melnikov-imap-content-location-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.
