About MIME

Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) is a standard that allows different types of content (for example, text content using different character types, or audio/video files of different formats) to be included in a message.

A MIME message is sent in two parts: a header that contains instructions for how the content should be displayed for reading, and the body with the actual content. This allows the message to be displayed for the recipient (who may be using a different program or setup to view the message) as closely as possible to how the sender had originally created the message.

The message must be processed by specific applications before the content can be easily read by human users.
