MIME - Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions
SYNOPSIS
Not a command -- see the SEE ALSO section for usable com
mands.
DESCRIPTION
MIME 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.
