X.420 (06/1999) i INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/IEC 10021-7 ITU-T RECOMMENDATION X.420 Information technology Message Handling Systems (MHS) Interpersonal Messaging System Summary This Recommendation | International Standard makes use of the enhanced message store defined in ITU-T Rec

8、. X.413 | ISO/IEC 10021-5. It also includes body part definitions for voice, reports and notifications. The ASN.1 is aligned with new ITU-T Rec. X.680 | ISO/IEC 8824-1 and ITU-T Rec. X.880 | ISO/IEC 13712-1, while retaining complete compatibility with the 1988 and 1992 IPM protocols. Numerous defect

9、 corrections are incorporated. This revision includes definitions for an extended set of ASN.1 integer values for IPM security error diagnostic codes. Source The ITU-T Recommendation X.420 was approved on 18th of June 1999. The identical text is also published as ISO/IEC International Standard 10021

X.420 (06/1999) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications. The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-

12、T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four

13、years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the n

14、ecessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to t

15、he possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside

16、of the Recommendation development process. As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementors are cautioned that this may not represent the latest

17、 information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TSB patent database. ITU 2003 All rights reserved.
