This document is a companion to RFC 1495, which defines the principles
behind interworking between MIME-based RFC-822 mail and X.400 mail.
This document describes the content of the, "IANA MHS/MIME Equivalence
table" referenced in the companion document, and defines the initial
configuration of this table.  Mappings for new MIME content-types
and/or X.400 body part types should be registered with the Internet
Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) to minimize redundancy and promote
interoperability.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This RFC specifies an IAB standards track protocol for the Internet
community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol
Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
