This article is from the Amiga Networking FAQ, by Richard Norman with numerous contributions by others.

11 MIME

    

MIME -- Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions

MIME allows for attaching binary files to email messages.

You can find out more about the MIME standard by reading RFC 1521

You can use archie and look for the file /rfc/rfc1521.txt

If your email program does not understand MIME attachments, you can use a separate program such as MUNPACK for the Amiga.

There are also MIME tools on Aminet such as METAMAIL and MetaTool.

Some of the email packages such as THOR support MIME, and some of the web browsers such as Ibrose use mime types for specifying helper applications.
