[Fwd: RFC 2183 on Content-Disposition]

There are two issues currently labelled 'DISPOSITION', 43 and 204.
The additional issue that Content-Disposition in HTTP isn't the
same as RFC 2183 is either an augmentation, or, more likely,
a separate issue.

This memo provides a mechanism whereby messages conforming to the MIME
specifications [RFC 2045, RFC 2046, RFC 2047, RFC 2048, RFC 2049] can
convey presentational information.  It specifies the
"Content-Disposition" header field, which is optional and valid for
any MIME entity ("message" or "body part").

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@ISI.EDU.

Details on obtaining RFCs via FTP or EMAIL may be obtained by sending
an EMAIL message to rfc-info@ISI.EDU with the message body
