1. Abstract
This document describes the registration of the MIME sub-type
multipart/voice-message for use with the Voice Profile for Internet
Mail (VPIM). A full description of usage can be found in the VPIM v2
specification [VPIM2]. This document revises an earlier sub-type
registration in RFC 1911 [VPIM1].
2. VPIM Scope
The VPIM specification defines a restricted profile of the Internet
multimedia messaging protocols for use between voice processing
platforms. These platforms have historically been special-purpose
computers and often do not have the same facilities normally
associated with a traditional Internet Email-capable computer. As a
result, VPIM also specifies additional functionality as it is needed.
The profile is intended to specify the minimum common set of features
to allow interworking between compliant systems.
