---- following is a DRAFT of message to be sent AFTER approval ---
From: The IESG <iesg-secretary@ietf.org>
To: IETF-Announce:;
Cc: Internet Architecture Board <iab@iab.org>,
    RFC Editor <rfc-editor@rfc-editor.org>
Subject: Protocol Action: 'The Text/Plain Format and DelSp 
         Parameters' to Proposed Standard 

The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'The Text/Plain Format and DelSp 
Parameters' <draft-gellens-format-bis-01.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This 
document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF 
Working Group. 

The IESG contact person is Ned Freed.

Technical Summary
 
    This specification establishes two parameters to be used with the
    Text/Plain media type, and, in the presence of these parameters, the
    use of trailing whitespace to indicate flowed lines.  This results
    in an encoding which appears as normal Text/Plain in older
    implementations, since it is in fact normal Text/Plain, yet provides
    for superior wrapping, flowing, and quoting.
    
    This standard supersedes the one specified in RFC 2646, "The
    Text/Plain Format Parameter", and adds the DelSp parameter to
    accommodate languages/coded character sets in which ASCII spaces are
    not used or appear rarely.

Working Group Summary
 
    This document was reviewed on the ietf-822@imc.org mailing list
    but is not the product of any IETF working group.
 
Protocol Quality
 
    Ned Freed reviewed the specification for the IESG.
