1. Introduction
This document describes methods for carrying PostScript information
in the two standard mail systems MIME and X.400, and the conversion
between them. It uses the notational conventions of [BODYMAP], and
the conversion is further described in [MIXER].
Two ways of carrying PostScript in X.400 are described. One is using
the FTAM Body Part, and one uses the Extended Body Part originally
described in RFC 1494.
The FTAM method is recommended.
