The FTP server that the mime overview is on was broken this weekend.
It is up again.  In hopes of avoiding any confusion, the original
announcement of the MIME Overview follows:

================

In order to promote interest in MIME I have written an overview of
MIME that is a gentler introduction than the RFC.  It begins with a
two page overview of what MIME is and what it is good for.  The
remainder of the document describes the technical details of MIME.

The mime overview is available in two forms: postscript and ASCII.  I
recommend the postscript version as being more readable version.
Both versions of the mime overview are available by anonymous ftp from
adad.premenos.sf.ca.us.  They are in the /pub directory.  The
postscript version is in a file called mime.ps.  The ASCII version is
in a file called mime.txt.

It seems that the overview only covers RFC1341 (the mail body stuff).

RFC1342 (on using fancy character sets in some of the fields of the
headers) can be argued to be part of MIME too. Maybe it should be
covered in the next version....                         /AF
