+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.

+
+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".

+
+
+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:

+
+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.
