Everybody has used e-mail!
But how many have read documents, which set the standards for e-mail?
These standards have been set up in the documents:
RFC 822 / RFC 821 MIME standards set in
RFC 2045/2046/2047/2048
(old verson RFC 1521/1522)
Mail Standard RFC822
Published in 1982 Lines no longer than 1000 char Message body - plain US-ASCII text Message header lines - plain US-ASCII
text Limit on message length
RFC 822 restrictions
no multiple objects in a single message no multi-part message bodies no non-textual bodies no X.400 messages can be gatewayd no multifont messages
ASCII times are over!
Now we want: National language support Possibility to send
– pictures– audiofiles– other applications– video files– multimedia applications
MIME - Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension
RFC 2045-2048 obsolete RFC 1521, 1522,1590 RFC 2045 Format of Internet Message Bodies RFC 2046 Media Types RFC 2047 Message Header Extension for
Non-ASCII Text RFC 2048 Registration ProceduresTo solve RFC822 restrictions without serious
incompatibilities with it
MIME defines new header lines MIME-Version header field:
MIME-Version: 1.0
The content type header field to specify the the type and subtype of data in the body:
Content-Type: Text/Plain: Charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding field to show how data is encoded
Content-Transfer-Encoding: QUOTED-PRINTABLE
Content-ID and Content-Description for future use
“Content type” possible values Text - textual information Image - for transmitting still images (gif,jpeg) Audio - requires audio output device Video - to display moving images, like mpeg Application - information to be processed by
application program Multipart - to represent compound, possibly
embedded parts Message - an encapsulated message
Content-transfer-Encoding
base64 - every 3 bytes are represented with 4 7-bit ASCII characters
quoted-printable - will code only non-ASCII characters in the text, 76char lines
7bit - no coding, already 7bit 8bit - have to be transported as 8-bit binary - as 8bit, but may contain long lines
Quoted-printable
Suitable to present most European languages which are based on ISO 8859-x standard
Non-ASCII chars will be coded with 3 chars: ´=´ followed by code in base (16) Examples:
Ü =DC ä =E4 ö =F6
Where to get more info about MIME
RFC archive with all RFC-s in plain text:
ftp://ftp.carnet.hr/pub/Internet/rfc/ Mark Grand’s “MIME Overview”

How e-mail works
User Agent (UA) - program, with which human users read, create and manage e-mail
Mail Transport Agent (MTA) - handling the movement of messages among computers, non-real-time manner; SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol - must be installed at every Internet Host
Working protocols
• SMTP - primary mechanism for moving mail around TCP/IP network, handles sites with permanent connections
• SMTP delivers mail, not allows user to collect it - sometimes the latter is more convenient
• POP, IMAP - fill the gap, they are oriented to serve users when they want
POP, IMAP
Aim - to build a distributed e-mail infrastructure
LAN oriented, vendor specific POP - Post Office Protocol, latest
version POP3, RFC 1725 (1460) IMAP - the Internet Message Access
Protocol, latest version IMAP4, RFC2060 (1731)
What we want from Mail client?
Good user interface advanced text editing spelling checker attachments allowed addressbook (with
groups!) MIME uudencode/decode
Encryption! + mailing lists pager support multiple accounts multilingual support full text indexing +
search message filtering
…and more
…more requirements for mail client:
signatures (multiple?)
database sophisticated send:
send e-mail to all my students who live in Liberty street
download headers and delete mail from server based on header info
UseNet Newsgroups Live spelling Thesaurus auto-dialing Free Internet Fax Confirmation ability … …
