Here is the latest mailto URL draft. - Jim >Mime-Version: 1.0 >To: IETF-Announce: ; >Sender:ietf-announce-request@ietf.org >From: Internet-Drafts@ietf.org >Reply-to: Internet-Drafts@ietf.org >Subject: I-D ACTION:draft-hoffman-mailto-url-01.txt >Date: Wed, 26 Mar 1997 09:48:52 -0500 >X-Orig-Sender: cclark@ietf.org > > A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts > directories. > > Title : The mailto URL scheme > Author(s) : P.
