Excerpts from internet.mmm-people: 14-Aug-90 Re: Multi-media mail standa.. Jim Morris@andrew.cmu.ed (144) > You forgot to mention PostScript. Certain communities exchange a lot of > things in PostScript. It offers the possiblity of system independence. PostScript is a good example of some of the problems I mentioned in my previous post. In particular, it is not really processable. It is computational very rich (programmable) but hardly designed with attention to the security problems involved in embedding it in mail, which means I'd have to examine the spec very closely before really trusting it to run automatically. It certainly suffers in the case of people trying to read it in a non-multimedia environment. It is, however, extremely extensible, which is probably its one strong point as far as I'm concerned. I think it would be a bad multimedia mail standard, though. -- Nathaniel
