Description of Working Group:

     This Working Group is chartered to extend the RFC 822 Message
     format to facilitate multi-media mail and alternate character
     sets.  The group is expected to formulate a standard message
     format, roughly based on either RFC1154 or RFC 1049.  The
     immediate goals of this group are to define a mechanism for the
     standard interchange and interoperation of international
     character sets.
