    - MIME (Multi-Purpose Internet Mail Extensions) is an extension of the original Internet e-mail protocol which is used to exchange different kinds of data files on the Internet such as, audio, video, images, application programs etc.

    - All the manually composed and automated emails are transmitted through SMTP in MIME format. It encodes the binary files and send.
