Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
Two computer professionals meet at a conference. They exchange information, including email addresses. If they both have Internet email, then one will send email and the other will reply. If one has Internet email and the other has X.400 email, then the one with Internet email will send a message and the other with X.400 will reply. If they both have X.400 email, then they will phone each other. Or, at least, so goes the standard email joke. The book jacket promises that X.400 will be big soon, but I've heard that for over a decade. If anything, I am seeing fewer X.400 addresses on the net these days than I was a few years ago. Nevertheless, the X.400 standard is still something to contend with. This book does provide a good basic introduction to both the 1984 and 1988 versions of the standard. There is also some coverage of the related X.500 (directory services) and X.509 (security) standards, which have started to come into greater prominence recently, separate from X.400. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996

Book description:

With dozens of diagrams simplifying complex architectural topics and relationships, the information in this book provides: a fast, concise introduction to the rapidly-growing field of electronic mail and X.400 MHS for non-specialists; sufficient background on the technology enabling readers to make more informed decisions regarding the products and services they require; and technical information on electronic mail and X.400 MHS otherwise available only through reading cumbersome standards specifications.
