Since when?  As far as I can tell, RFC 1140 is still operative,
and lists RFC 1154's state/status as Experimental/Elective.

I would very much like NeXT to document their current format, and
when standards do exist, to adhere to them.

While our future workstation acquisitions will consider heavily
price/performance, we were "forced" to purchase some
SPARCstations ->because the NeXTstation Color wasn't available<-,
and we are committed to supporting them for five years.  We are
very interested in a mail application for those machines that is
capable of handling RTF, and .vox and .tiff attachments, and is
(to the extent possible) fully interoperable with the NeXTs.
