MIME = Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions

The protocol for handling binary files sent via e-mail on the Internet. This is an very old standard.

  • Various RFC on the issue, quote:

“MIME extends the format of Internet mail to allow non-US-ASCII textual messages, non-textual messages, multipart message bodies, and non-US-ASCII information in message headers.”
