Mark, In an earlier draft of this document, there were SMTP (and POP3) commands included to illustrate mail client and server interaction. A small sub team met and decided that it is not the responsibility of SOAP to define email infrastructure communication and therefore, these commands should not be in the binding document. The email infrastructure (i.e. which email clients, servers and associated commands along the message path) is of no interest to SOAP, just the content of the mail message. Thoughts?

This binding is to RFC 2822 a message format used with RFC 2821, the SMTP protocol. The use of RFC 2822 in 4.1.1.1 and 4.1.2.3 is fine for specifying SMTP header, but is insufficient for an email binding. Is it just not yet complete? Have I misunderstood the intent? Because it seems to me that in order to validate the SOAP protocol binding framework, we should really try to bind SOAP to an actual protocol. 8-) MB -- Mark Baker, Chief Science Officer, Planetfred, Inc.
