However, at least you have now been asked so cannot later complain that you had not been consulted. This thread is about MSE and X400. The Web based records have moved to another thread. :=) There are two questions which are of immediate 'real world' importance One has to do with X400 and SMTP / MIME and how reliably these (and associated WANs) currently handle binary messages The other has to do with whether we approve of the NHSnet being pedalled as a grand solution for all of our comms needs, or whether we perceive our needs for clinical EDI messages to be quite separate from our needs for email and WWW. The NHS Telecom boards take the former view and cannot understand why GPs are not flocking in to take up what is being offered. If this is of no interest to the list I apologise for taking up bandwidth and will desist from now on... -- John Williams Email: [log in to unmask] Fax: 01483 440928 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
