1. Introduction
This document contains the definitions, originally contained in RFC
1495 and RFC 1341, on how to carry ODA in MIME, and how to translate
it to its X.400 representation.
1.1. The Application/ODA MIME content-type
The "ODA" subtype of application is used to indicate that a body
contains information encoded according to the Office Document
Architecture [ODA] standards, using the ODIF representation
format. For application/oda, the Content-Type line should also
specify an attribute/value pair that indicates the document
application profile (DAP), using the key word "profile", and the
document class, using the keyword "class".
For the keyword "class", the values "formatted", "processable" and
"formatted-processable" are legal values.
