  • Abstract
    Lately, I´ve been sifting through the murky world of electronic mail file attachments-specifically, how MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is creating a cross-platform standard to make sending and receiving files via e-mail increasingly painless, but e-mail is really just the beginning of MIME´s usefulness.
