Dear Email Experts,

I have just submitted draft-duerst-mailto-bis-00.txt to the Internet
Drafts Editor. Here's the abstract:

    This document defines the format of Uniform Resource Identifiers
    (URI) for designating electronic mail addresses.  The syntax of
    'mailto' URIs from [RFC2368] is extended to be compatible with IRIs
    ([RFC3987]) for better internationalization.

You can find a full copy at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/uri/2005Feb/0013.html.

Comments are welcome. The list for discussing URI schemes, including
this one, is [email protected] (subscribing by sending a mail with subject
'subscribe' to [email protected]).

Regards,    Martin.
