Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME): An internet standard that extends the format of email to support text in character sets other than ASCII, as well as attachments such as multimedia files. It’s used to encode non-text content, enabling emails to carry audio, video, images, and application programs, thereby enhancing the scope of traditional email communication.
