        RFC 1342:

        Title:      Representation of Non-ASCII Text in Internet
                    Message Headers
               Author:     K. Moore
       Mailbox:    moore@cs.utk.edu
       Pages:      7
       Characters: 15,845
       Obsoletes/Updates:  none

This memo describes an extension to the message format defined in RFC
1341, to allow the representation of character sets other than ASCII
in RFC 822 message headers.  The extensions described were designed to
be highly compatible with existing Internet mail handling software,
and to be easily implemented in mail readers that support RFC 1341.
This document is the product of the Internet Message Extensions
Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This RFC specifies an IAB standards track protocol for the Internet
community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol
Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@NRI.RESTON.VA.US.  Requests to be added
to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should be sent to
