Subject: Protocol Action: Message Disposition Notification to Draft 
	   Standard
-------------

 The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Message Disposition
 Notification' <draft-vaudreuil-mdnbis-03.txt> as a Draft Standard,
 obsoleting RFC2298.

 This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of
 an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ned Freed and
 Ted Hardie.
   
 Technical Summary
   
This memo defines a MIME content-type that may be used by a mail user 
agent (MUA) or electronic mail gateway to report the disposition of a 
message after it has been successfully delivered to a recipient. This 
content-type is intended to be machine-processable. Additional 
message headers are also defined to permit Message Disposition 
Notifications (MDNs) to be requested by the sender of a message. The 
purpose is to extend Internet Mail to support functionality often 
found in other messaging systems, such as X.400 and the proprietary 
"LAN-based" systems, and often referred to as "read receipts," 
"acknowledgements", or "receipt notifications." The intention is to 
do this while respecting the privacy concerns that have often been 
expressed when such functions have been discussed in the past. 
   
 Working Group Summary
   
This document was originally the product of the RECEIPT working group.
Review of the revised version was conducted largely in the context
of the VPIM working group.
   
 Protocol Quality
   
Ned Freed reviewed the document for the IESG.

 RFC Editor Note

The IPR boilerplate is missing from the draft and needs to be added
before publication.
