MIME stands for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension, a standard
system for identifying the type of data contained in a file based on its
extension.
MIME is an Internet protocol that allows you to send
binary files across the Internet as attachments to e-mail messages. These files
includes graphics, photos, sound and video files, and formatted text documents.
MIME negotiates many different operating systems and types of software to
perform this amazing feat. Its invention has been a major step forward in the
exchange of non-text information over the Internet.
