A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.


	Title		: Internationalizing Mail Addresses in 
Applications (IMAA)

The Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA)
specification describes how to process domain names that contain
characters outside the ASCII repertoire.  A user who has a non-ASCII
domain name may want to use it in an Internet mail address that
contains non-ASCII characters not only in the domain part but also
in the local part (the part to the left of the '@').  This document
describes how to use non-ASCII characters in local parts.  It
defines internationalized local parts (ILPs), internationalized mail
addresses (IMAs), and a mechanism called IMAA for handling them in a
standard fashion.

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-hoffman-imaa-03.txt".

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.


Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
