At the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL), we're implementing an RFC987 gateway - and are having some problems understanding the way an auto-forwarded message is handled. On page 55 of the RFC, it says that when p2.Heading.autoforwarded is set to TRUE, all previously generated RFC 822 field names are to be prepended with Autoforwarded-. I have two questions: 1. is this recursive, i.e. will the To: of a twice autoforwared message be prepended TWICE with Autoforwarded-? and 2. does Autoforwarded- get prepended before P1-generated RFC822 field names? Any help would be appreciated. Replies to this newsgroup or directly to me at GREENE(A)elde.epfl.ch . Nancy Greene EPFL/LIT

I'm posting this message wide - apologies to those who get duplicates. Please do NOT reply to all of the CC lists. RFC 987 is a specification to map between RFC 822 based protocols and X.400 (1984). I have just completed the first draft of the version to map to X.400 (1988) - a quite substantial update. For now, I am calling this RFC 987(88). I hope that this specification can gain wide acceptance, following input from all interested parties. I propose to use the ifip-gtwy list to discuss this specification. I will be circulating the specification by mail in two weeks time (April 11th) - experience has suggested that there are too many interested parties without file transfer access. This should give interested people sufficient time to get onto the list. Send to ifip-gtwy-request@tis.llnl.gov. For UK people send to arpa-mhs-request@uk.ac.ucl.cs. I suggest that other Europeans should get national expansions. People should also get themselves copies of X.400 (88) - at least the DIS. I'm sure that "how to get the standard" will be discussed on ifip-gtwy. I am proposing to hold a meeting on 27-28 June in London to finalise this specification following electronic discussion. Put this date in your diaries! If there is sufficient request, it may be useful to also hold a one day meeting sometime in early May. Steve
