Abstract
General electronic mail (email) provides a facility for exchanging messages of seemingly arbitrary content. In common email usage, text is the primary media with one or more attachments. A class of special-purpose computers has evolved to provide voice messaging services. These machines generally interface to a telephone switch and provide call answering and voice messaging services. Message exchange between these voice-mail only systems can best be achieved using VPIM Version 2. Fax messaging is another special purpose messaging system which interface to a telephone switch and provide the ability to send and receive images over the PSTN. When sending these messages over the Internet rather than the PSTN, the simple mode fax profile defined in RFC ABCD should be used. Other electronic messaging systems include paging, and short message service. It is expected that other messaging systems developed for specific environments will continue to be developed. This profile defines a new version of the VPIM specification for the interchange of voice messages between a voice messaging system as defined in [VPIM] and a unified messaging system. In this sense, a unified messaging system is capable of sending and receiving each of several different message types. Typical unified messaging systems today consolidate fax messages, voice messages, and email messages into a single system and permit the forwarding a received message of one type as an attachment to a message of another type. Further, this profile will define the interactions between a media agnostic (multi-media) messaging system with unified messaging and voice messaging systems. A media agnostic system may combine several media into a single message. Such a message may not have primary a media but rely upon several components to
