Hallo,
ich habe mal aufgeschrieben, was ich an Internet-Spezifikationen vermisse.
Da hier einige auf der Liste sind, die das Internet bald zwanzig Jahre kennen, dachte ich mir, dass ich hier auf der lug-dd vielleicht etwas Feedback bekomme :-)

Hier der aktuelle Stand:
# missing-internet-specs Missing Internet Specifications
Here is a list of ideas. Each idea is about a internet standard that I am missing.
I love feedback: Please create a github issue if you see typos or if something is not clear. Don't be shy. Tell me what you think.
## Avatar: mail address to image Use case: Mail user agents like thunderbird or outlook should be able to display the image of a emai sender.
If you get a mail from foo.bar@example.com there should be a way to receive the image and maybe more information.
I asked this at stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34043435/rfc-for-retrieving-avatar-image-...
One of several possible solutions: I think DNS could be used. DNS should provide an URL to an image.
## Mail Header for online shopping
Use case: If you buy stuff via internet you get several mails. Some users (like me) want to move these mails to sub-folders.
The most common types are these:
* "We received your order" * "This is your invoice" * "We are shipping your goods"
It would be very nice if there would be a standard for tagging the mails. Then users can create mail filters to move mails to sub-folders.
Spec: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email#Message_header
## HTTP PUT without data transfer, since hash of data is known to server
See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32794863/http-spec-put-without-data-trans...
## Make notes on Mails (IMAP)
Use case: I see a mail from a friend in my inbox. But some information is missing. I call him on the phone. He tells me more details. The next step is that I need to do something. But not today, in about one week. I want to add a note to the mail.
I use thunderbird on PC and K9 on android. Notes should be visible on both devices.
One of several solutions: Extend IMAP Spec
