1.  Introduction

   This document describes methods for carrying PostScript information
   in the two standard mail systems MIME and X.400, and the conversion
   between them. It uses the notational conventions of [BODYMAP], and
   the conversion is further described in [MIXER].

   Two ways of carrying PostScript in X.400 are described.  One is using
   the FTAM Body Part, and one uses the Extended Body Part originally
   described in RFC 1494.

   The FTAM method is recommended.

RFC 2160 Carrying PostScript in X.400 and MIME January 1998 2. The PostScript body part Carrying PostScript in X.400 as an Extended Body Part was originally defined in RFC 1494. This specification carries that work forward now that RFC 1494 is obsoleted by [BODYMAP]. The following Extended Body Part is defined for PostScript data streams. It has no parameters. postscript-body-part EXTENDED-BODY-PART-TYPE DATA OCTET STRING ::= mime-postscript-body mime-postscript-body OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mixer-bp-data 2 } 3. The PostScript FTBP The PostScript FTBP is identified by having the FileTransferParameters.environment.application-reference set to id- mime-ftbp-postscript. The definition is: id-mime-ftbp-postscript OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mixer-bp-data 6 } 4. The Application/PostScript content-type In MIME, PostScript is carried in the body part "application/PostScript", which is defined in RFC 1521. 5. MIXER conversion X.400 Body Part: Extended Body Part, OID mime-postscript-body MIME Content-Type: application/postscript Conversion Type: No conversion The two representations of PostScript both contain a single stream of octets. This stream of octets can be copied with no problems between the representations. No other data needs to be converted. 6. MIXER conversion X.400 Body Part: FTBP, OID mime-ftbp-postscript-body MIME Content- Type: application/postscript Conversion Type: No conversion Alvestrand Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 2160 Carrying PostScript in X.400 and MIME January 1998 The two representations of PostScript both contain a single stream of octets. This stream of octets can be copied with no problems between the representations. No other data needs to be converted. 7. OID Assignments The first OID is also defined in [BODYMAP]. POSTSCRIPT-MAPPINGS DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN EXPORTS -- everything --; IMPORTS mixer-bp-data FROM MIXER-MAPPINGS id-mime-postscript-body OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mixer-bp-data 2 }; id-mime-ftbp-postscript OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { mixer-bp-data 6 }; END 8. Security Issues The issues concerning PostScript and security are well discussed in RFC 2046. No additional security issues are identified by this memo. 9. Trademark Issues PostScript is a trademark of Adobe Systems, Inc. 10. References [MIXER] Kille, S., "MIXER: Mapping between X.400 and RFC 822/MIME", RFC 2156, January 1998.
