In the 1992 version of X.400, there will be a parameter to indicate compression of P22 body parts, but, I believe, only for file transfer body parts, not for other body parts. The parameter to indiciate compression of body parts will be an object identifer. I do not know if any registry will be set up for registering compression algorithms and their associated object identifiers. Does FTAM have this facility? I am asking because the forthcoming 1992 version of X.400 will define file transfer in P22 body parts in a way which is intended to be compatible with FTAM.
