This memo.

1498 Saltzer Aug 93 On the Naming and Binding of Network

Destinations

This brief paper offers a perspective on the subject of names of destinations in data communication networks. It suggests two ideas: First, it is helpful to distinguish among four different kinds of objects that may be named as the destination of a packet in a network. Second, the operating system concept of binding is a useful way to describe the relations among the four kinds of objects. This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard.

1496    Alverstrand  Aug 93   Rules for Downgrading Messages from
                              X.400/88 to X.400/84 When MIME
                              Content-Types are Present in the
                              Messages

This document describes how RFC-1328 must be modified in order to

provide adequate support for the scenarios:

                    SMTP(MIME) -> X.400(84)
                    X.400(84) -> SMTP(MIME)

obsoleted. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

1495 Alverstrand Aug 93 Mapping between X.400 and RFC-822

Message Bodies

Since the introduction of X.400(84), there has been work ongoing for defining mappings between MHS and RFC-822. The most recent work in this area is RFC-1327 [3], which focuses primarily on translation of envelope and headers. This document is complimentary to RFC-1327 as it focuses on translation of the message body. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
