A protocol that specifies the format of an internet message body such as a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) message. Historically, it is a mechanism for transmitting a non-text file, such as an image or audio file, that is embedded in an internet e-mail message. Internet e-mail was originally designed for ASCII text only. MIME must encode the files at the distributing end and decode the files at the receiving end of the transmission.
