Sent to ietf-822 and ietf-msgtrk mailing lists, cc to [email protected], responses default to ietf-822 Yesterday, "message/tracking-status" appeared in the IANA registry for MIME message media types (http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/message/). It lists "RFC-ietf-msgtrk-trkstat-05.txt" as the reference document -- of course there is no such document. The closest existing document is a draft dated March 2003, more than a year old ("Internet drafts are valid for six months"). Why on Earth did this suddenly appear yesterday? The ietf-msgtrk mailing list appears to be dormant; in the last three months the only message to appear on that mailing list's archive are spam messages (http://www.imc.org/ietf-msgtrk/mail-archive/maillist.html). There are fewer than a dozen message in the mailing list archive in the past year, spam included. What's going on?!?
