Subject: [Imap-protocol] IETF no longer accepts free-format Internet-drafts
Message-ID: <alpine.WNT.1.00.0802061659000.4960@Tomobiki-Cho.CAC.Washignton.EDU>

It seems that a consequence of the IETF's new service provider, it is no 
longer possible to upload a free-format Internet-draft.  Instead of just 
emailing to internet-drafts@ietf.org, we're now supposed to use a web page
 	https://datatracker.ietf.org/idst/upload.cgi
which enforces the idnits requirements and spews forth:
 	Pages [sic] is not in numeric format.

Bah, humbug.  Pretty formatting is the RFC Editor's job.  Requiring such 
for drafts is a waste of time.
