Hmmm! When did we decide that - I had not spotted it, though it seems to  
have changed between March and April this year? What was the reason (I  
don't necessarily object, but I would like to understand it).

Yes, but I see no reason why future headers that include a <mailbox>  
should not be included. Your list if fine in order to make sure that all  
implementors cover at least those cases correctly. Perhaps:

     Any address header fields (i.e. those containing one or more  
<mailbox>s)
     that may be defined in future MAY be downgraded by applying the same
     process.

And similar wording for other cases later on.

The point is not whether we should allow any future Address header fields,  
but whether sensibly written MUAs would be able to upgrade them (i.e., if  
they are written to detect whether both a Downgraded header and a normal  
header of the same name are present, without checking it against any list,  
then they should be able to upgrade it without problem by decoding any  
RFC2047 in the Downgraded header, and discarding (or renaming) the other  
one. It is rather similar to what is in RFC2047, which claims to work on  
ANY unstructured header, or ANY structured header with <comment>s,  
<phrase>s etc in it. In fact it should be easier than RFC2047, because  
2047 requires you to consult the Delphic Oracle to discover whether the  
unrecognized header is structured or not. In practice, I suspect that the  
great majority of MUAs, if they see anything that is syntactically an  
encoded word (or even a poor attempt at an <encoded-word>) they simply  
decode it regardless.

Yes, my suggested wording should be extended to cover that case. In fact,  
all you need is a rule

   encoded-display-name = 1*( encoded-word / word )

Agreed. Essentially you are saying that the <addr-spec> is to be encoded  
as a single <encoded-word>, as opposed to <encoded-display-name> which can  
be as complicated (and confusing :-) ) as you choose to make it.

And this time that should be no problem, because there is no Downgraded  
header to worry about. and the result of the downgrading is automatically  
consistent with all existing standards.

OK, it is just a suggestion for the WG to consider. The first job is to  
get a proper description of how to downgrade a message/utf8smtp. But I  
suspect that once an implementor had implemented that correctly, it would  
only take half a line of extra code to do message/rfc822 as well.

Yes, it breaks existing standards, but the WG has already decided to do  
that :-( .

I am pretty sure you are wrong there. Can you explain further?

Indeed, but best to use the more common case in examples.

No, it was

    This downgraded message's header part contains ASCII characters only.
    But it still contains MIME encapsulated subject header which contains
    UTF-8 characters.  And more, the body part contains UTF-8 message.
    "ascii user" needs to accept UTF-8 mail body and UTF-8 subject which

When we remembered that an ALT-ADDRESS is an RFC-822 address, and thus 
can contain spaces and other characters that mess with syntax if unencoded.

OK, I now rewriting as
  5.  Email header fields downgrading
      <mailbox>, <word>, <comments>, <unstructured>, MIME parameter <value>
      downgrading definition
  5.1.  Each header fields downgrading
      header fields listing and refer each downgrading.

requirements for future defined header fields may be useful.

The upgrade/display mechanism only helps recipients to recognize the

OK, the same part. I added it in security consideration section.

Hello folks,

after the discussions both on- and off-list after Chicago, we seem to have 
reached the following conclusions:

- In the list of MIME types, there are people who see actual technical 
issues with the MIME types - some are issues of style ("we don't do things 
that way"), others are issues of perception ("that will make the thing look 
silly in 5 years"), but they are very real issues that we should consider 
carefully.

- In the IETF tradition, we don't do voting - we do do opinion polls, and 
even allow close calls when it is more important to draw a conclusion than 
which one is chosen - but we never do anonymous polls. People are expected 
to stand for their opinions.

- Documented technical issues, where there's consensus that the issue is 
adequately described and merits consideration, always overrule opinions.

Based on this background, the process we will follow is as follows:

- FIRST, we need to have documented the issues perceived with the MIME type 
choice. I'm asking people to do that via mail to the mailing list, between 
now and FRIDAY, AUGUST 17.

- On FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, I will send out a message announcing the poll. This 
will ask you to rank *all* the alternatives for MIME type, reflecting your 
opinion of the technical issues raised on the list - that is, if you think 
an issue is very important, you put *all* the choices that are on one side 
of the issue first, and *all* the choices that are on the other side last.

- On FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, at 0800 GMT, the poll closes. (This chair will be 
away over the weekend, so the final result is unlikely to be announced 
until late the week after. But a week should be long enough for people to 
make up their minds.)
The result will consist of the "best" choice according to a Condorcet 
ranking of the preferences, with a Schultze tie-breaker if necessary, and 
will include the complete record of who-said-what (no secret ballot).

- If the result is acceptable to the WG, we're done. If not, we figure out 
some other way.

Seems OK?

             Harald Alvestrand

Minutes from the EAI working group
Chicago, IL, USA
2007-07-26

1.      Agenda bashing, etc: 

        Nothing to report.

2.      Status report: 

   a. RFC 4952 published 2007-07-26. (Jubilation)

   b. SMTP believed to be ready except for MIME type choice.

   c. UTF8HDR has open issues, but believed to be ready except for
   MIME type choice.

   d. DSN is a dependency with issues.

   e. DOWNGRADE is in a reasonable state, but there are issues to
   discuss (in particular, "unknown header" handling, multiple
   Downgrade: headers, and downgraded no-Alt cases)

   f. Other drafts are dependent on completion of core.  

Remark (John Klensin): There were late comments on the framework
      document that suggested it could be more clear.  The design team
      is aware of these, and will be incorporated in later revisions;
      but if you had comments or think the document as published is
      not good, send comments _now_.

3.      SMTP
   
   a.  List of issues closed.  A question was put to the room: Does
   anyone object to these issues being regarded as resolved?  There
   was no response.  

   b.  Unresolved issues requested.  There was no response from the
   room.

A question was put to the room: How many people have read the
document?  About one half of the room responded that they had read
it.  

A question was put to the room: Who believes this document is ready
for Last Call?  About one half the room indicated agreement.

A question was put to the room: Who believes this document is not
ready for Last Call?  Nobody responded.

4.      UTF8HDR

   a.  The Chair listed the issues closed.  A question was put to the
   room: Does anyone object to considering these issues closed?  There
   was no disagreement expressed.
   
   b.  The remaining issue is issue 1485: body part for UTF8SMTP.  A
   question was put to the room: Are there any other issues for this
   document?  There were no additional issues raised.

   A question was put to the room: How many people have read the
   document?  There were approximately 10 people responding.  

   A question was put to the room: Once the MIME type is selected, is
   this document ready for Last Call?  Nobody objected.

   John Klensin made a remark that it would be worrisome if this
   document were Last Called prior to the DSN document; the Chair
   replied that they would be Last Called together, because there is a
   normative dependency between them.

   c.  MIME type selection [minute note: out of order from slides; the
   MIME type selection discussion happened before DSN discussion].
   The suggestion from the Chair is that there are some bad options
   that have been eliminated, but that there is nevertheless not a
   remaining clear winner.  The issue is that the WG needs to pick --
   not design -- a method.  Several methods suggested.  John Klensin
   remarked that it is important to find "least liked" options, but
   that nobody has ever died because of a bad decision on similar
   topics.  The Chair asked John Klensin to send an outline to the
   list of what "very bad" options were, and Klensin agreed.  A coin
   toss established the Condorcet method as the way by which the
   choice would be made.

5.      DSN open issues: report by Alexey Melnikov

   a.  Issue 1 is just MIME type issue.  See above.

   b.  If DSN cannot be delivered on the next hop, then what?  there
   are three options: 7 bit, downgrade, or discard.  Eric Allman
   observed that it is important not to make downgrade an implicit
   requirement, because it's possible not all implementations will do
   downgrade.  Some remarks to the effect that detailed design in the
   meeting is not a good idea.  After considerable discussion, the
   Chair asked for a hum on the suggestion that downgrading was off
   the table, but that some versions of encoding are possible.  There
   was a noticeable response in favour, and silence opposed.

6.      Downgrade unresolved issues

   a.  Chair asked how many had read the latest version?  There were
   not many indicating having read.

   b.  There remains an issue with UTF8 addresses with no alternate.
   There were previous suggestions merely to bounce the mail, but that
   seemed unsatisfactory, which is why there has been a suggestion for
   group syntax.  The editor asked for feedback.  General sense seemed
   to be that MUAs would not mishandle empty groups, and that the
   important thing was not to require too complete behaviour lest the
   feature be completely unimplemented.  

   c.  Unknown header fields discussion.  There seem to be two
   options: either a field is processed as Downgrade: [old field], or
   it gets a special Downgraded-* prefix for every field.  The
   room seemed to converge on documenting the problem and moving on,
   but no clear statement seemed to garner clear support.  the Area
   Director pointed out that, to the extent this issue impinged upon
   DKIM, it would need to be addressed, though he did not have a
   recommendation on how to proceed.  The Chair observed that
   Downgrade: fieldname: value received no remarks in favour, but
   Downgrade-fieldname: value was preferred by 7 participants.

7.      POP: Randall Gellens

   a.  Some meeting participants indicated they'd read the document
   recently.

   b.  It appears that a full MIME parser is required in POP servers
   depending on which commands the client has issued (and whether the
   message is 7 bit or has been downgraded).  A large number of slimy,
   worm-like issues are under this rock.  Discussion needs to go to the
   list.

8.      Mailinglist

   a.  Nobody replies to question to the room: Who has read the latest
   version?

   b.  A number of issues outlined, with not much discussion.  Must go
   to list.

9.      Working Group timeline

   a.  The Chair plans to issue a 2-week Working Group Last Call on
   SMTP, UTF8, and DSN in August.  If that goes well, it should be
   possible to go to the IESG in September.  WGLC for Downgrade in
   September, going to the IESG in October.  Then remaining additional
   drafts can be discussed in the December meeting in Vancouver.  

   b.  Given that the entire work is to be Experimental, how can the
   results of the experiment be collected, and how can the results be
   documented?

10.     Closing

   a.  Actions to be taken: MIME decision ASAP, fix drafts after that
   in August, and WGLC after that.

   b.  Other business?  None.



  



    


         


Respectfully submitted,

Andrew Sullivan

The mailing list last call for the 2822 update is now over.

I believe we have mailing list consensus on the issues that have been
raised during the last call. After an updated draft is posted by Pete,
we'll be moving the draft forward to IETF last call.

I take it this refers to the naming of what has hitherto been known as  
message/utf8smtp, for which purpose the proposed procedure and poll seem  
fine. And also its method of downgrade needs to get covered in the  
downgrade draft.

As you know, I am unhappy about the decision to have such a new message  
type in the first place, but that is a separate matter which will likely  
come up again in IETF Last Call.

I have one further issue related to MIME types. In the current DSN, where  
only the headers are to be returned, the type used in text/rfc822-headers  
(which is required to be in pure ASCII, of course). In the proposed UTF-8  
DSN that type becomes message/utf-8-headers whereas, for consistency with  
the previous practice, one would have expected it to be  
text/utf-8-headers. So why the change? Downgrading of message/* types is  
messy (especially it it involves using encodings such as Q-P or Base64  
which is not supposed to happen, whereas downgrading of text/* types is a  
well understood practice, using Q-P or Base64 as needed). Existing agents  
would automatically apply that encoding to any text type without looking  
any further.

So why not simply use text/utf-8-headers for this job, probably with a  
charset=utf-8 parameter? Indeed, you might even get away with just adding  
a charset parameter to the existing text/rfc822-headers type - I suspect  
many current MUAs would display that correctly without even realizing they  
were doing anything unusual; but that might be considered a step too far.

Perhaps this needs a new Issue number.

OK, a few remarks.



    e. DOWNGRADE is in a reasonable state, but there are issues to
    discuss (in particular, "unknown header" handling, multiple
    Downgrade: headers, and downgraded no-Alt cases)

Agreed. I raised a host of minor issues, but they are mostly accepted by  
the editor. Main thing needed is clear explanation of how to downgrade  
message/utf8smtp (and maybe even message/rfc822).


    b.  If DSN cannot be delivered on the next hop, then what?  there
    are three options: 7 bit, downgrade, or discard.  Eric Allman
    observed that it is important not to make downgrade an implicit
    requirement, because it's possible not all implementations will do
    downgrade.  Some remarks to the effect that detailed design in the
    meeting is not a good idea.  After considerable discussion, the
    Chair asked for a hum on the suggestion that downgrading was off
    the table, but that some versions of encoding are possible.  There
    was a noticeable response in favour, and silence opposed.

But discard is also highly undesirable (especially as there is usually no  
Return-Path to send it back to). So downgrade it has to be.


   b.  There remains an issue with UTF8 addresses with no alternate.
    There were previous suggestions merely to bounce the mail, but that
    seemed unsatisfactory, which is why there has been a suggestion for
    group syntax.  The editor asked for feedback.  General sense seemed
    to be that MUAs would not mishandle empty groups, and that the
    important thing was not to require too complete behaviour lest the
    feature be completely unimplemented.

Yes, I like the group syntax idea, as in the latest downgrade draft.


   c.  Unknown header fields discussion.  There seem to be two
    options: either a field is processed as Downgrade: [old field], or
    it gets a special Downgraded-* prefix for every field.  The
    room seemed to converge on documenting the problem and moving on,
    but no clear statement seemed to garner clear support.  the Area
    Director pointed out that, to the extent this issue impinged upon
    DKIM, it would need to be addressed, though he did not have a
    recommendation on how to proceed.  The Chair observed that
    Downgrade: fieldname: value received no remarks in favour, but
    Downgrade-fieldname: value was preferred by 7 participants.

I much prefer 'Downgrade: fieldname: value', which is essentially what we  
have had in our drafts all along. I dislike the idea that new header field  
names can be invented 'on the fly', or that the form of a header field  
name should itself convey any semantic information. And all valid header  
field names are now supposed to be registered with IANA as soon as they  
are invented, which means that every existing header field name will now  
require a matching Downgrade-* to be registered for it.



9.      Working Group timeline

    a.  The Chair plans to issue a 2-week Working Group Last Call on
    SMTP, UTF8, and DSN in August.  If that goes well, it should be
    possible to go to the IESG in September.  WGLC for Downgrade in
    September, going to the IESG in October.  Then remaining additional
    drafts can be discussed in the December meeting in Vancouver.

The four 'core' documents UTF8, SMTP, DSN and DOWNGRADE are all so  
dependent on each other that it would be unwise to submit them to the IESG  
other than as one complete package to be considered together.

I agree that the others could follow later.

[. . .]

Just to be clear, your remarks were on the _content_ of the minutes,
and not the _accuracy_?  If the latter, I don't think I understood
what alterations you thought were needed.

Harald, I don't know if putting more of the discussion into the
minutes is worthwhile, but, at least for Charles's information...

Charles, just to explain the other point of view, there are a
number of MUAs that don't like duplicate field names in the same
set of headers.  If one has a legacy MUA, "Downgrade: From:" is
not different from "Downgrade: To:".  It is, instead, either a
pair of syntax errors ("field-name: atom: ..." is unusual
although not actually prohibited) or two duplicate/redundant
header fields named "Downgrade:".  If the MUA canonicalizes the
information, and many do, there is considerable risk that 
   Downgrade: From: stuff
   Downgrade: To: otherstuff
will either be turned into 
   Downgrade: From: stuff [,] To: otherstuff

or...
all Downgrade: header fields will be dropped entirely, since
there would be no rule for how to create the union (e.g., in the
above, whether to put in that comma or not) 
or...
the MUA will choose one of them to retain (most likely the first
or last one) and discard all of the others.

Since none of those are good options and not being able to
predict which one would be chosen is not predictable across
MUAs, some of us ended up being persuaded that "Downgrade-foo:"
was the better choice despite sharing your misgivings and
distaste about that form.

If you think something was said at the meeting on this point, please 
suggest words so that we can get it into the minutes. I'd like to have 
the minutes reflect what was discussed - but we can't add that much 
explanation if that explanation didn't occur in the meeting.

And Charles - if you want to discuss the issues rather than the minutes, 
CHANGE THE SUBJECT LINE!

Harald, 

While, as you know, I've still got some process concerns, this
is probably close enough to reasonable that I can live with it
if those who "vote" actually express preferences all the way
down as you suggest.

Consistent with your suggestions above, I see the names falling
into three categories.  Let me identify them and then go into
details and examples below.

(1) Names that will encourage incompatible and non-conforming
extensions.

(2) Names that do not appropriately describe what is going on
and, more important, will cause long-term embarrassment by
branding i18n mail permanently as a second-class add-on.  We
should be looking for names that identify email i18n as the
mainstream for Internet mail, with systems that do not support
it as slightly-retarded (obsolete) legacy implementations.

(3) Names that are ok.  As I tried to say in Chicago, I don't
care how we pick among this: a preference ballot is fine, but
some would be a coin-toss or more elaborate random-choice
procedure.

The first two categories are not mutually exclusive: some names
fall into both of them.

Details and examples:

(1) In the MIME types definition, we were careful to make
distinctions between character set identification (properly
placed in "charset=" parameters when they are needed), encoding
and on-the-wire compression methods (properly placed in
Content-Transfer-Encoding (C-T-E)), and actual content types and
name things accordingly.  There are gray areas.  For example, we
have application/zip (or x-zip), rather than
"Content-transfer-encoding: zip" but that was after a long
discussion that hinged, in part, on the observations that "zip"
was 8bit and hence would require additional encoding and that,
while it might be reasonable for a final delivery MTA or the
server-side of a mail access protocol to decode other C-T-Es, it
was probably not reasonable for them to explode zip files.

There is an additional problem for character set designations,
which is that the use of one of them may encourage the use of
others.  For example message/utf8 (or message/utf8foo) might
encourage the non-standard development and deployment of
message/latin1 or message/8859-1 or message/EUC in areas where
those codings are still more popular than Unicode in UTF-8
encoding.

That reasoning and history make message/utf8 and, to a lesser
degree, the strings that contain "utf8", substantively bad
ideas, not just a matter of taste.


(2) As I said in Chicago, I'd like people considering the
various alternatives to think about how someone looking at these
strings a decade from now, when (we assume) the UTF8SMTP
extension and formats will be fully deployed, downgrading will
(almost) never occur, and message/rfc822 will be largely
history.  message/rfc822 has caused confusion as to whether the
messages conform to RFC822 and RFC2822 (or, soon, RFC2822bis).
The IDN WG was promised that "Punycode" --neither the name nor
the format-- would be seen outside the low-level technical
environment, but it leaked in ways that have created confusion
about just what the name refers to as well as some bad jokes
about IETF disrespect for the non-English-speaking community.

Names that contain RFC numbers (which seem to have dropped out
during the initial poll) or present or proposed IETF WG names
seem to me to be problematic in this regard.  Those include
message/eai, message/ima, and, to a lesser extent, strings
containing "eai" or "ima".  There is also some question about
variations of "internationalized" such as message/i18n or
strings containing "i18n": after all, long-term, what other sort
of messages should the be that are not internationalized?  Do we
really want to give long-term special status to ASCII-only email
and acknowledge that status by saying that this non-default form
is somehow transformed or adapted to be i18n (my apologies
non-native speakers of English, but there is a considerable
semantic difference between "internationalized", implying that
some action needed to be taken to get things that way from a
normal base that presumably isn't internationalized and
"international" which is just a statement of what something is)?
Message/international and Message/global are much less
problematic in this regard, at least to my sense of vocabulary.

(3) This is the more or less neutral group.  Of the proposals
that are now on the table (per the discussion in Harald's note
of Friday, 20 July, 2007 08:19 -0700), message/mail appears to
be the neutral choice: at least we are clearly talking about
mail messages, and not, e.g., IM messages or the like.
message/email or message/imail (for Internet mail) seem
equivalent.  As discussed above, message/international or
message/global are probably as good: a little redundant, but not
harmful.

Just my opinion, of course.

    john

It provides a method for a few specific headers, for use when interpreting  
obs-syntax only. Evidently some MUAs have implemented this (which is fine,  
and might even be useful when generating Reply-to-all and the like). But  
it seems some of them apply it to other headers for which it is  
inappropriate :-( .

But there is nothing in RFC 2822 which says that multiple occurrences of  
the same header are disallowed, except for cases where it explicitly says  
so. Therefore they are allowed. The headers we are talking about here come  
under the classification of optional-headers so far as 2822 is concerned.

An MUA which refuses to display an unknown header, even when the user  
requests to see "all headers", is severely broken. But any such agent that  
declines to show the "Downgrade:" header I have proposed would equally  
decline to show any of the "Downgrade-Foo" headers that you prefer. So  
that argument is neutral as between the two proposals.

As to whether such an agent would be kind enough to display in decoded  
form any RFC 2047 stuff it encountered in such headers, that too would  
presumably happen, or not happen, under both proposals. It does not matter  
that such agents will not recognise delimeters such as "----". The most  
one can expect such agents to do is to display these headers in a form  
that the reader can read.

Only agents extended following our drafts would be able to use those  
headers in order to do full upgrading (that would include extended POP and  
IMAP systems, of course). The only disadvantage I can see with my proposal  
is that the position of the original pre-downgrade headers in the header  
section will be lost, so the upgrade mechanism will not be able to  
reproduce the original headers in their original order.

With my former document author hat on, there were two reasons I switched to 
"message" from "text" for that media type.

First, return-of-headers is primarily useful as a correlation mechanism.  It's 
undesirable for a correlation mechanism to be transformed in a way that might 
break the correlation.  Using a text/* type with a charset=* parameter invites 
such transformation of the charset and makes it unclear what's expected of a 
client that's doing correlation (e.g. would it have to support 
text/international-header for all the charsets mentioned in RFC 2049 for 
minimal MIME compliance?).

Second, message headers are fundamentally content related to a "message". 
After discussing it with other MIME experts, we felt the name 
text/rfc822-headers was probably a design error and it should have been a 
message content type.  So the change was deliberate on that front as well.

The inconsistency between naming of the ASCII and international variants of 
this media type is unfortunate, but I felt it was the lesser of evils.

I agree this should go on the issue list to gauge WG rough consensus on the 
topic.

For completeness, let me attempt to summarize the three other naming issues 
I've heard discussed in this thread:

4. Using the name of a protocol ("SMTP") in a media type name when that media 
type is likely to be used outside that protocol more often than not (e.g., 
IMAP, POP, webmail, mail stores, MUAs) is misleading about the purpose of the 
media type.

5. The message/rfc822 media type is used for 7-bit news messages today and this 
is part of the original message/rfc822 definition.  Just as it is desirable to 
have one compound type for all message objects that look like 7-bit header mail 
(to avoid lots of subtly different compound types to descend), it is also 
desirable to use one compound type for all message objects that look like utf-8 
header email.  As a result, the term "mail" is somewhat misleading about the 
scope of the media type.  Of course, rfc822 is also misleading and we've lived 
with it.

6. Descriptiveness of name.  It's desirable for the name to have some useful 
meaning to a non-technical user as MIME media types leak into user interfaces.

I don't disagree with any of John's issues, but it's likely the relative weight 
I attach to these five naming issues is different from the relative weight John 
attaches to them.

Here is the promised poll of MIME types.
Please send your responses to BOTH OF THE CHAIRS (for multi-place
record-keeping).
KEEP THE SUBJECT LINE INTACT (adding Re: at the beginning is Not A Problem).

Please remember to fill in your preference on ALL the MIME types, by
placing a number between the square brackets at the beginning of the 
line, using the numbers from 1 to 11. 1 is the type
you would most like to see, while 11 is for the type you would least
like to see. All the numbers should be different.

The entries appear in alphabetical order. Please don't rearrange them.

The poll closes on FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, at 0800 GMT.

====== POLL START =======

Would it be possible to provide those email addresses somewhere in the poll

Here is the promised poll of MIME types.
Please send your responses to BOTH OF THE CHAIRS (for multi-place
record-keeping): harald@alvestrand.no and lee@cnnic.cn.
KEEP THE SUBJECT LINE INTACT (adding Re: at the beginning is Not A Problem).

Please remember to fill in your preference on ALL the MIME types, by
placing a number between the square brackets at the beginning of the

OK, so omit the charset parameter, and state up-front that the charset  
MUST be utf-8. Or say that if charset is present it MUST be of the form  
charset=utf-8 (the only advantage of having a charset parameter at all is  
that some existing agents might be kind enough to act on it - but then  
DSNs will normally be sent to people with upgraded MUAs, even if some  
intermediate hop isn't).

It was always am oddity that text/rfc822-headers was used originally, but  
now it is there noone can complain if the new DSNs use  
text/utf8-headers/whatever. The disadvantage of using  
message/rfc822-headers is that some agents will fail to handle it properly  
when downgrading for some non-8BITMIME systems (sendmail will just leave  
it as 8bit, for example). That is hardly robust. But every agent should be  
able to downgrade a text type in that situation.

Dear colleagues,

The above strikes me as a strange argument.  It suggests that, because
some wart was selected once in the past, all future warts are
automatically unobjectionable.  Surely that's not something we
believe, is it?

Best regards,
A

I agree regarding use of RFC numbers, but I find eai and ima to be much 
less problematic. Just think they are are acronyms in a long forgotten 
language.
In this respect message/dragon might be just as good ;-).

I agree on this. I also think that MIME is sufficiently 
internationalized (as far as subject and message bodies are concerned, 
so I also fine the label i18n to be somewhat confusing)

but I should mention that I somewhat disagree with John on this point. I 
think using any MIME types containing "mail" is bad, because the new 
MIME type is not necessarily limited to email (usenet and SIP might be 
some other places where this will be used eventually).

I agree that, in some hierarchy of problems, eai and ima are
less problematic than RFC numbers or the equivalent.   And, if
we could be assured that the entities being referenced were
friendly Asian dragons rather than nasty European ones, I would
prefer message/dragon to either one :-)

As I have tried to say before, I am not completely happy about
any of the offered choices.   I do not consider "mail" to be a
really good choice, merely one of the less problematic ones.  I
don't know whether I would classify it as better or worse than
"message/dragon" or, given the possible confusion about
dragon-behavior, perhaps "message/dolphin" or "message/penguin".

Yeah, I think Alexey has convinced me that "eai" and "ima" belong in 
your category 3: Pretty much neutral.

Again, I'm with Alexey. I consider "mail" *far* worse than "dragon" 
(or "dolphin" or "penguin" for that matter :-) ) simply because it is 
meaningful ("This is a mail message") and at the same time 
meaningless ("This might be a news or other kind of message, and what 
about its 'mailness' distinguishes it from an 'rfc822'?").

I am, however, less worried about the utf8 ones than either John or 
Alexey; I agree that they invite stupidity, but really, utf8-ness is 
what distinguishes these things. Not my number 1 pick though.

I find myself wanting to rate 1-5 on the list, and mark everything 
else as 11. :-/

Oops. I am one of "several others". Sorry for my misunderstading and 
possible interference with the process.

I interpreted the above sentence based on additional explanations given 
after the sentence that was "(for multi-place record-keeping)". For this 
purpose, I thought that I'd better keep my poll as many places as 
possible by posting to the list.

I did not say anything about it, and that was quite deliberate - I did not 
want to claim that people SHOULD keep their opinion secret - indeed, I 
wanted people to state what they were in favour of and why they were in 
favour of it, but I'd heard the concern expressed that if people knew what 
the opinions were halfway through, they could be tempted to try to "vote 
tactically" in order to influence the outcome.

In the event, we have enough people who have voiced their opinion without 
telling the list that this issue should not be a concern.

Of course, all positions will be listed in the results announced later 
today.

                     Harald

+1. I favor "message/utf8smtp" for consistency, since 
we already have"message/rfc822" nd "message/rfc2822".

rfc2822 and utf8smtp both are protocol names.

I forgot to put this:
  If some poor email recipient finds his MUA cannot parse "message/utf8smtp",
  he "view-source"s it and tries google "utf8smtp" and found new RFC with such title had been issued.
  He will go his MUA official homepage and find new utf8smtp-compliant version has come out.

If [utf8smtp] draft be issued  "RFC4xxx", Then "message/rfc4xxx" is okay to me as an alias to the above
one. This naming pattern is consistent with that of "message/rfc2822".

more serioiusly:

After considering the available alternatives, and after weighing the 
various arguments given in favour of one group of alternatives or the 
other, the WG consensus seems to be that it's not unreasonable to go 
with the name "MESSAGE/GLOBAL" for the MIME type that represents 
messages structured according to draft-ietf-eai-utf8headers.

Details below, written from the very useful program that Charles Lindsey 
supplied.
The slicing and dicing of this list should give a lot of indication of 
which arguments found favour, which were
universally accepted, which were strongly polarizing, and which were 
studiously ignored. But I believe that we

Interesting points:

- There were 8 (out of 11) alternatives where someone had that 
alternative in the first spot.
- Message/i18n was the only one to not have any instance in the 2 first 
spots
- The same type was also the only one that nobody had in the last 2 spots

The last opinion to be stated arrived in my mailbox just 4 minutes after 
the deadline; I chose to include it, and it did not affect the outcome.

If I missed anyone's opinion, or anyone spots a transcription error, 
please call it out!

NOTE: I'll be largely-off-net from approx. 1 hour after sending this 
message unti Wednesday evening, August 29. So don't expect rapid 
responses to such notices - sorry about that!

RESULT:

message/global is preferred to message/eai           by 14 : 7
message/global is preferred to message/i18n         by 14 : 7
message/global is preferred to message/i18n-email    by 12 : 9
message/global is preferred to message/ima           by 14 : 7
message/global is preferred to message/international by 12 : 9
message/global is preferred to message/intl-email    by 13 : 8
message/global is preferred to message/mail         by 11 : 10
message/global is preferred to message/utf8-email    by 14 : 7
message/global is preferred to message/utf8eai       by 16 : 5
message/global is preferred to message/utf8smtp      by 15 : 6

message/global is therefore a condorcet winner

The second matrix shows the effect of subtracting [column,row] from
[row.column] so as to give the majority in favour of [row] as against 
[column].
Observe that the winning row(s) has no negative entries.

OK, so now we have a nice new word "Global". Maybe it could now be used  
elsewhere.

For example, we could choose to name the whole package we are discussing,  
so that the new type of email will become known as "global email". Use  
"GLOBAL" as the name of the extension in EHLO. And so on. It is certainly  
the sort of word that the community would pick up and run with.
