I have trimmed down the original post considerably. I have a backlog of LSTOWN-L email to read, but I don't believe I've seen this x-posted, yet, so I thought I'd go ahead and do so before another week passes ... Thought this might be of interest to some of you.

This draft is a work item of the Notifications and Acknowledgements Requirements Working Group of the IETF. Title : An Extensible Message Format for Delivery Status Notifications Author(s) : K. Moore, G. Vaudreuil Filename : draft-ietf-notary-mime-delivery-04.txt Pages : 33 Date : 01/20/1995 This memo defines a MIME content-type that may be used by a message transfer agent (MTA) or electronic mail gateway to report the result of an attempt to deliver a message to one or more recipients. This content-type is intended as a machine-processable replacement for the various types of delivery status notifications currently used in Internet electronic mail. Because many messages are sent between the Internet and other messaging systems (such as X.400 or the so-called "LAN-based" systems), the DSN environment. To this end, the protocol described in this memo provides for the carriage of "foreign" addresses and error codes, in addition to those normally used in Internet mail. Additional attributes may also be defined to support "tunneling" of foreign notifications through Internet mail. Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP.
