Definitions for "Mime type"
MIME stands for "Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions" and is a data specification which allows non- ASCII files to be sent over the Internet. Email programs (such as Eudora) and Web browsers are configured to interpret a variety of standard MIME types so they can transmit and receive graphics, audio, video, and formatted text files.
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) is an Internet Standard for the format of email. Virtually all Internet email is transmitted via SMTP in MIME format. Internet email is so closely associated with the SMTP and MIME standards that it is sometimes called SMTP/MIME email. The basic Internet email transmission protocol, SMTP, supports only 7-bit ASCII characters. This effectively limits Internet email to messages which, when transmitted, include only the characters used for the English language. MIME defines mechanisms for sending other kinds of information in email, including text in languages other than English using character encodings other than ASCII as well as 8-bit binary content such as files containing images, sounds, movies, and computer programs.
MIME stands for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME). MIME extends the format of Internet mail to allow non-US-ASCII textual messages, non-textual messages, multipart message bodies, and non-US-ASCII information (such as HTML formatted information) in message headers and in messages.
