Connolly" <connolly@hal.com> To: Multiple recipients of list <www-talk@www0.cern.ch> --mixed I suggest we use MIME, the internet standard for multimedia messaging, in the various internet information system; specifically, I request that WWW server announcements use MIME to designate HTML in mail/news messages. To illustrate, I include an annoucement recently sent to www-announce. The announcement was prefaced with: The announcement comes both as a text file and a html file, to access the html version cut out everything between the rows of dashes and save as a file, then use your web reader to access it as a local document I have added MIME headers to that message to make these intentions machine readable. Any reader with a MIME mail user agent (and there are many: PINE, Eudora..., and soon there will be many more) can use their mailer to carry out the above instructions. I request that the maintainers of www-announce, whats-new, comp.infosystems.announce, and related services support MIME by making MIME documentation and examples available to their contributors. This will increase the value and usablility of these postings, and (eventually) decrease the amount of hand-work for the list maintainers and for readers around the globe.
