On the risk on sounding bureaucratic...
I have checked out both RFC1274 and RFC2247 and I could not see "mail"
being listed anywhere.
However from RFC1495
5 OID Assignments
MIME-MHS DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN
mail OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { internet 7 }
mime-mhs OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mail 1 }
mime-mhs-headings OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mime-mhs 1 }
id-hex-partial-message OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
{ mime-mhs-headings 1 }
id-hex-multipart-message OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::=
{ mime-mhs-headings 2 }
mime-mhs-bodies OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mime-mhs 2 }
END
I come to the conclusion that I prefer to leave "mail" for use in the
"internet 7" class.
Best regards,
Lutz
