**********

   This manual documents the libraries used to compose and display MIME
messages.

   This is not a manual meant for users; it's a manual directed at
people who want to write functions and commands that manipulate MIME
elements.

   MIME is short for "Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions".  This
standard is documented in a number of RFCs; mainly RFC2045 (Format of
Internet Message Bodies), RFC2046 (Media Types), RFC2047 (Message
Header Extensions for Non-ASCII Text), RFC2048 (Registration
Procedures), RFC2049 (Conformance Criteria and Examples).  It is highly
recommended that anyone who intends writing MIME-compliant software
read at least RFC2045 and RFC2047.

Basic Functions

Decoding and Viewing
