You're probably interested in some or all of the following (and possibly
other RFCs related to MIME):


2049  DS  N. Freed, N. Borenstein, "Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions
           (MIME) Part Five:  Conformance Criteria and Examples",
           12/02/1996.  (Pages=24) (Format=.txt) (Obsoletes RFC1590)

2047  DS  K. Moore, "MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) Part
Three:
           Message Header Extensions for Non-ASCII Text", 12/02/1996.
           (Pages=15) (Format=.txt) (Obsoletes RFC1590)

2046  DS  N. Freed, N. Borenstein, "Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions
           (MIME) Part Two:  Media Types", 12/02/1996. (Pages=44)
           (Format=.txt) (Obsoletes RFC1590)

2045  DS  N. Freed, N. Borenstein, "Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions
           (MIME) Part One:  Format of Internet Message Bodies",
12/02/1996.
           (Pages=31) (Format=.txt) (Obsoletes RFC1590)

Please remember, when implementing MIME, that it's an *e-mail* protocol
(i.e. NOT for net.news).
