+
+1. Introduction and Overview
+
+ RFC 1738 [RFC1738] registers the mailserver: URI scheme as
+ provisional in the IANA URI registry defined by [RFC4395], defining
+ it as "Access to data available from mail servers" with no further
+ details provided. The author of this document is not aware of any
+ other more detailed definition of the mailserver: URI scheme. The
+ mailserver: URI scheme as currently specified is not interoperable.
+ There is a small risk that somebody would decide to implement this
+ scheme by looking at IANA's URI scheme registry, possibly inventing
+ some undocumented syntax for it. In order to minimize such risk,
+ this document discourages any future implementations of this URI
+ scheme and asks IANA to mark it as Historic in the URI scheme
+ registry.
+
+ There were some previous attempts to provide detailed documentation
+ of the mailserver: URI scheme, but those efforts were not successful.
+ Implementors interested in providing instructions for generating an
+ email [RFC5322] message can instead use the mailto: URI scheme
+ [RFC6068]. Implementors interested in referencing a message or a set
+ of messages available from a mailstore over IMAP [RFC3501], POP
+ [RFC1939], or web [RFC2616] can instead use the imap: [RFC5092], pop:
+ [RFC2384] or http: [RFC2616] URIs, respectively.
+
+2. Security Considerations
+
+ In the past, the mailserver: URI scheme was never properly documented
+ and thus doesn't interoperate. There are no known implementations of
+ this URI scheme.
+
+3. IANA Considerations
+
+ IANA has re-registered the mailserver: URI scheme as Historic in the
+ URI scheme registry and updated the reference to point to this
+ document.
