    Scope This Recommendation | International Standard defines the overall architecture of the MHS and serves as a technical introduction to it. Other aspects of Message Handling are specified in other Recommendations | parts of ISO/IEC 10021. A non-technical overview of Message Handling is provided by ITU-T Rec. X.400 | ISO/IEC 10021-1. The conformance testing of MHS components is described in Rec. X.403. The detailed rules by which the MTS converts the contents of messages from one EIT to another are defined in Rec. X.408. The abstract service the MTS provides and the procedures that govern its distributed operation are defined in ITU-T Rec. X.411 | ISO/IEC 10021-4. The abstract service the MS provides is defined in ITU-T Rec. X.413 | ISO/IEC 10021-5. The application protocols that govern the interactions of MHS components are specified in ITU-T Rec. X.419 | ISO/IEC 10021-6. The Interpersonal Messaging System, an application of Message Handling, is defined in ITU-T Rec. X.420 | ISO/IEC 10021-7. Telematic access to the Interpersonal Messaging System is specified in Rec. T.330. The EDI Messaging Service is described in CCITT Rec. F.435 | ISO/IEC 10021-8, and the EDI Messaging System, another application of Message Handling, is defined in CCITT Rec. X.435 | ISO/IEC 10021-9. The means by which messages may be routed through the MHS is specified in ISO/IEC 10021-10. Management information for MHS components is defined in the X.460-series Recommendations | ISO/IEC 11588.
