- NAME
- MIME -- Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions
-
- SYNOPSIS
- Not a command -- see the SEE ALSO section for usable com-
- mands.
-
- DESCRIPTION
- _M_I_M_E is the official proposed standard format for extended
- Internet electronic mail. The MIME format permits email to
- include enhanced text, graphics, audio, and more, in a
- standardized and interoperable manner. If you send and
- receive mail with a MIME-compliant mail system, you will be
- able to send and receive far more than ASCII text.
-
- Various different people and companies are implementing
- MIME-compliant software. This man page was provided, by
- user request, as part of the freely-available "metamail"
- distribution from Bellcore. Metamail provides a complete
- MIME implementation, but there may well be others at your
- site, too. The "SEE ALSO" section only refers to the tools
- that came as part of the metamail distribution.
