Suddenly I understand the header/intermediate stuff, at least the theory. So returning to my disagreement with Jacek on Marc's questions about the potential for intermediates to repackage the message, I think we could consider another case (v) intermediates may repackage any attachments to headers they are allowed to process. This allows applications to grant repackaging to intermediates through their split between header and body. In addition I suggest a intermediate "role" of message repackaging with senders able to spec potential or required downstream packages. This would allow intermediates between e.g. senders that cannot buffer large binary and receivers that cannot buffer large binaries; the intermediate would buffer, count, and repackage. ______________________________________________________ John J.
