Sorry, Dick, but I think this remark is misleading. 

The so-called "email" packaging makes use of IETF standards
for MIME, the security multiparts, and the specifications
for Open-PGP and SMIME. It is as much
based on standards as is the packaging that makes
use of "multipart/form-data."

The questions about how many vendors have or are
implementing the specification are really not
ones for the ietf-ediint list. I think it is time
for someone to volunteer so that we can offload
interoperability and implementation issues from
this list. Anyone willing to host one?
