NAME
       MIME - Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions

SYNOPSIS
       Not a command -- see the SEE ALSO section for usable commands.

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  sys-
       tem, 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.
