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.
a label that identifies the contents of a file
a Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) type
a short notation for the contents of a file
a standard used by web servers to identify the files they are sending to web clients
a string that identifies a data format
a text string that identifies the type of file that is being served by a web server so that the web browser can properly display it
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions type. Examples of MIME types include image/jpeg, application/zip, and text/html.
A MIME type identifies the format of a file. The MIME type enables applications to read the file. For example, an email application can use the MIME type to detect what type of file is in a file attached to an email.
A file format defined by the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions standard. A mime type describes the type of file being transferred to the web browser.
MIME stands for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension. It's a protocol used on the Internet to describe file formats.
Information associated with a file on a Web server. The MIME type tells the server, and the Web browsers of any connected users, what the file type of the file is, and which application to use to open the file. (MIME is an acronym for Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension.)
A Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) type identifies the format of a file. The MIME type enables applications to read the file. For example, an email application can use the image/png MIME type to detect that a Portable Networks Graphic (PNG) file is attached to an email.
A standardized content type description based on the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) specification.
Code that specifies the content type of a multimedia file.
A text identifier that is sent with web pages that identify the type of file. It might be text/plain, text/html, application/exe, etc.
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension is a standardized method of assigning types to documents. It was originally developed for use with mail messages. That is, mailers could recognize specific types of documents embedded in mail messages by their MIME types. This same mechanism has now been adopted as the mechanism for assigning and detecting the formats of Internet documents.
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions type. This refers to a system of identifying the type of email and world-wide web content so that data of varying types can be exchanged among many different computer systems.
A method used by Web browsers to associate files of a certain type with helper applications that display files of that type.
A file format defined by the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions standard. This unique identifier is used for different file types when conveyed across a MIME-based protocol such as MIME e-mail or HTTP.
