compression indicator

["Durand, Jacques R." <JDurand@us.fujitsu.com>]

Should we make the compression indicator at higher level than just MIME COntent-Type?

 

 "The content type of the compressed attachment MUST be "application/gzip": this is an indicator to the receiver that compression has been used."

 

It seems appropriate to  - also - indicate this at a higher level, in the eb header, where we also give other encoding details on the part:

 

    <eb:PartInfo href="cid=foo@example.com" <mailto:cid=foo@example.com> >
        <eb:PartProperties>
            <eb:Property name="MimeType">application/xml</eb:Property>
            <eb:Property name="CharacterSet">utf-8</eb:Property>

            <eb:Property name="Compressed"/>
        </eb:PartProperties>
    <eb:PartInfo
