For The Record: HTML Email on the Internet; RFC 2557


To Whom It May Concern,

The IETF publishes this standard for electronic mail on the Internet using HTML and even supports resource references in the HTML whose targets (images, sounds, etc.) can be incorporated into the same MIME message as the HTML body.

In my opinion, it's simply foolish to anchor electronic mail in the pre-markup, pre-media days of text-only electronic communication.

RFC 2557
"MIME Encapsulation of Aggregate Documents, such as HTML (MHTML) "

Abstract:
This document a) defines the use of a MIME multipart/related structure to aggregate a text/html root resource and the subsidiary resources it references, and b) specifies a MIME content-header (Content-Location)that allow URIs in a multipart/related text/html root body part to reference subsidiary resources in other body parts of the same multipart/related structure.
