Hansen +Request for Comments: 3938 AT&T Laboratories +Updates: 3458 October 2004 +Category: Standards Track + + + Video-Message Message-Context + +Status of this Memo + + This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the + Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for + improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet + Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state + and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. + +Copyright Notice + + Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2004). + +Abstract + + The Message-Context header defined in RFC 3458 describes the context + of a message (for example: fax-message or voice-message). This + specification extends the Message-Context header with one additional + context value: "video-message". + + A receiving user agent (UA) may use this information as a hint to + optimally present the message. + +1. Introduction + + Email messages can be used to convey many different forms of + messages, and the user will interact with different types in + different ways. As explained in RFC 3458 [1], the "message context" + of the message conveys information about the way the user expects to + interact with the message, such as which icon to display. RFC 3458 + then registers the message contexts for a "voice-message", "fax- + message", "pager-message", "multimedia-message", "text-message", and + "none". + + + + + + + + + + + +Hansen Standards Track [Page 1] + +RFC 3938 Video-Message Message-Context October 2004 + + +2. Video Message + + One form of email is a message that consists mostly of a video + stream. Examples of services that send video email are those + connected to cell phones that capture video streams, and video email + services that use webcams attached to a PC. These email messages + currently consist of two flavors, both of which can be properly + considered a video message: + + 1. those that embed the video stream internally within the message as + a body part, and + + 2. those whose video stream is stored on a third party's video + server. + + However, none of the existing message contexts properly identify such + video messages. This specification extends the Message-Context + header with one additional context value: video-message. + +3. IANA Considerations + +3.1. Message-Context + + As specified in RFC 3458 [1], this document registers "video-message" + in the "Internet Message Context Types" repository. + + Message-Context class name: + video-message + + Summary of the message class: + Indicates a message whose primary content is a video mail message. + The primary content is video data. The context is usually a + message recorded on a video camera, or a message whose primary + purpose is to contain an external reference to a message recorded + on a video camera. + + Person & email address to contact for further information: + Tony Hansen, tony+msgctxt@maillennium.att.com. + +4. Security Considerations + + This header is intended to be an indicator of message context only. + As such, it is only a hint and requires no behavior on the part of a + message user agent. + + + + + + + +Hansen Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 3938 Video-Message Message-Context October 2004 + + +5.
