Note:  This announcement is being re-sent with a corrected filename.

 A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
 directories. This draft is a work item of the Calendaring and Scheduling 
 Working Group of the IETF.                                                

       Title     : MIME Calendaring and Scheduling Content Type Profile

The use of mail enabled applications such as calendaring and scheduling has
grown considerably in the last decade. Enterprise and inter-enterprise 
business has become dependent on rapid scheduling of events and actions 
using this information technology. The store-and-forward characteristic of 
electronic messaging technologies has been shown to be complementary to the
asynchronous nature of group communications. However, the longer term 
growth of mail enabled applications, such as calendaring and scheduling, is
currently limited by the lack of Internet standards for the message content
types that these groupware applications are based on. This specification is
intended to progress the level of interoperability possible between 
dissimilar calendaring and scheduling applications that communicate using 
an SMTP or MIME transport.  

This specification defines a usage profile for the MIME Calendaring 
and Scheduling Content Type [MIME-CAL]. Any MIME based calendaring 
and scheduling application that supports this MIME Calendaring 
and Scheduling Content Type profile will be able to interoperate with other
MIME based calendaring and scheduling applications using a broad range of 
scheduling functions.

Send a message to:  mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-calsch-csp-00.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net 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.
