The X.400 series of documents done in IFIP WG 6.5 contained integrated
multi-font text and graphics done on a Xerox Star. They were probably
not distributed on the ArpaNet at the time simply because there was no
easy way to convert them to a readable message format.  Furthermore,
there was no other electronic mail list for discussion of the standard
by members of the committee because the necessary gateways between the
members' electronic mail boxes did not exist.
