Hi, I am new to MIME and am rather confused by the interoperability issues. I understand that some mail gateways in the market can route a 'proprietary' mail (e.g., created in CC:Mail) across an SMTP backbone to another 'proprietary' mail system (e.g. MS Mail). My impression is that these routed mail can only contain 7-bit data (no audio/video allowed). Am I accurate in saying this ? Assuming this is so, I would like to know if there is any existing (or planned) products which can convert proprietary mails to MIME ones (and vice versa) so that multi-media mail can be exchanged between say, CC:Mail and MS Mail, over the same SMTP backbone ? Any pointers is appreciated. Many thanks. Jin-Ho jinho@iti.gov.sg
