Any comments on draft-hansen-pop3-xtndext-00.txt? I've included the
abstract below. It was published in June as part of work for the GRIP
WG, but I forgot to mention it in the pop3ext mailing list.

1. Abstract
This Internet Draft describes some extensions to
the Post Office Protocol [POP3] and are described here
for historical purposes. The status of this Internet
Draft will be Historic.
[XTND] describes a mechanism to extend the POP3
protocol, called XTND. Two extensions which have been
implemented on some server implementations are XTND
XMIT and XTND XLST; this memo describes these exten-
sions.
New implementations of POP3 clients and servers
are not expected to implement these extensions; other
mechanisms should be used instead. For example, [SMTP]
should be used instead of XTND XMIT for sending email.
If authentication is needed for sending email, then the
proposed [ESMTP] [AUTH] extension should be used.
