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 elec-
     tronic 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.

SEE ALSO
     metamail(1),  mailto(1),  metasend(1),  mmencode(1),  richtext(1),   split-
     mail(1), mailto-hebrew(1)
