Emacs MIME
**********

This manual documents the libraries used to compose and display MIME
messages.

   This manual is directed at users who want to modify the behavior of
the MIME encoding/decoding process or want a more detailed picture of
how the Emacs MIME library works, and people who want to write
functions and commands that manipulate MIME elements.

   MIME is short for "Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions".  This
standard is documented in a number of RFCs; mainly RFC2045 (Format of
Internet Message Bodies), RFC2046 (Media Types), RFC2047 (Message
Header Extensions for Non-ASCII Text), RFC2048 (Registration
Procedures), RFC2049 (Conformance Criteria and Examples).  It is highly
recommended that anyone who intends writing MIME-compliant software
read at least RFC2045 and RFC2047.
