Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions MIME Type was introduced to specify more complex data than plain text. When introduced it was probably not conceived that many different media may one day be used. The MIME 'Content-Type' declaration is thus nothing but stating the type of content of the document, and by implication the medium through which it should be delivered. Today MIME types include sound, video, graphics, HTML, PostScript, and so on. The Mime type is specified to inform user agents about the type of content a document contains. By following RFC2045 and RFC2046 the phrase Content type is used rather than MIME type. So whenever you need to specify a MIME type, remember to use Content type. See Media and Content type

Multi-purpose Internet mail extensions. A format originally developed for attaching sounds, images and other media files to electronic mail, but now also used with World Wide Web applications. A MIME mapping is a list of file extensions and the types of files they belong to. When the server sends an HTTP reply, it sends a type/subtype header according to the requested file's extension. A MIME type/subtype is an HTTP header sent with a reply that determines how a client will view or use the message. The MIME type tells the general type of document, such as image or application, and the subtype tells the specific type such as GIF or ZIP. [San Diego State University

MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is an encoding method designed for exchanging binary files over the Internet (particularly via email messages) in a standardized, platform-independent form using a coding scheme called base64. A MIME-encoded message can contain several parts, each of which can be a different type of file: ASCII text, pictures, video, sound, or any other type of binary data.

Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions A protocol for internet email that enables the transmission of nontextual data such as graphics, audio, video and other binary types of files. An e-mail program such as Eudora is said to be "MIME Compliant" if it can both send and receive files using the MIME standard. When non-text files are sent using the MIME standard they are converted (encoded) into text - although the resulting text is not really readable. Besides e-mail software, the MIME standard is also universally used by Web Servers to identify the files they are sending to Web Clients, in this way new file formats can be accommodated simply by updating the browsers' list of pairs of MIME-Types and appropriate software for handling each type.
The Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (RFC 1510): extensions that allow e-mail messages to contain audio, video, and multiple files. It is also the format that Web servers and browsers use to transfer files. The MIME content type of a file tells a browser how to process it. The content type for HTML files is `text/html'.
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions. MIME is a specification for enhancing the capabilities of standard Internet e-mail.
The standard for attaching non-text files to standard Internet mail messages. Non-text files include graphics, spreadsheets, formatted word-processor documents, sound files, etc. An email program is said to be MIME Compliant if it can both send and receive files using the MIME standard (the ROHCG email system is NOT MIME compliant). When non-text files are sent using the MIME standard they are converted (encoded) into text - although the resulting text is not really readable. Generally speaking the MIME standard is a way of specifying both the type of file being sent (e.g. a Quicktime video file), and the method that should be used to turn it back into its original form. Besides email software, the MIME standard is also universally used by Web Servers to identify the files they are sending to Web Clients, in this way new file formats can be accommodated simply by updating the Browsers' list of pairs of MIME-Types and appropriate software for handling each type.

The Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions protocol (MIME) is used in Internet communications to transmit documents of varying formats. It is used by World Wide Web (WWW) Servers to identify the types of files they send to WWW Clients. The protocol provides a means of specifying the type of file being transmitted (e.g., a motion video file) and the method that should be used to return it to its original form for display. MIME types have been defined for many types of non-text files, including: graphic and image files (jpeg, gif, tif), sound files (au, wav), and motion video files (mpeg).
(Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) A common method for transmitting non-text files via Internet e-mail, which was originally designed for ASCII text. MIME encodes the files using one of two encoding methods and decodes it back to its original format at the receiving end. A MIME header is added to the file which includes the type of data contained and the encoding method used. S/MIME (Secure MIME) is a version of MIME that adds RSA encryption for secure transmission.
