    A message originator sometimes sends content in a form
    the recipient cannot process or would prefer not to
    process a form of lower quality than is preferred. Such content needs
    to be converted to an acceptable form, with the same information or
    constrained information (e.g., changing from color to black and
    white). In a store-and-forward environment, it may be convenient to
    have this conversion performed by an intermediary. This specification
    integrates two ESMTP extensions and three MIME content header fields,
    which defines a cooperative service that permits authorized,
    accountable content form conversion by intermediaries.

    This document is a product of the Internet Fax Working Group of the IETF.

    This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

    This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
    the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
    for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the
    "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
    standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution
    of this memo is unlimited.

    This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
    Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
    should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@IETF.ORG. Requests to be
    added to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should
    be sent to RFC-DIST-REQUEST@RFC-EDITOR.ORG.

    Details on obtaining RFCs via FTP or EMAIL may be obtained by sending
    an EMAIL message to rfc-info@RFC-EDITOR.ORG with the message body
    help: ways_to_get_rfcs. For example:

            To: rfc-info@RFC-EDITOR.ORG
            Subject: getting rfcs

            help: ways_to_get_rfcs

    Requests for special distribution should be addressed to either the
    author of the RFC in question, or to RFC-Manager@RFC-EDITOR.ORG. Unless
    specifically noted otherwise on the RFC itself, all RFCs are for
    unlimited distribution.

    Submissions for Requests for Comments should be sent to
    RFC-EDITOR@RFC-EDITOR.ORG. Please consult RFC 2223, Instructions to RFC
    Authors, for further information.
