My perception of MIME
is from the perspective of a programmer. The easiest way to view MIME is as "electronic containers".
If your interested you might want to check out a couple of the rather aged
RFC's concerning MIME
RFC
821 and RFC 822
MIME containers can transport a wide
variety of data objects including ...
- Multiple objects within a single message
- Text with unlimited line length or overall length
- Character sets other than 7-bit ASCII
- Multi-font messages
- Binary or application-specific files
- Images, audio, video and multi-media messages
- Automatic Downloads in browsers.
