Many modern computer systems have a different concept of {}`{}`plain text'' from the systems where the text/plain media type originated. These modern systems usually use a proportional-spaced font and use CRLF to represent paragraph breaks. Numerous software products have erroneously labelled this media type as text/plain. In order to correct this interoperability problem, the text/paragraph media type is defined. {[}NOTE: This proposal may be discussed publicly on the ietf- 822@imc.org mailing list.
