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
       system, 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.

       splitmail(1), mailto-hebrew(1)
