| Invited Talk: MIME & Metamail: Moving Multimedia Mail
| into the Mainstream?
| Nathaniel S. Borenstein, Bellcore
|
| Most users continue to live in a text-only world, at least
| for email. MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)
| provides a standard format for multimedia electronic
| mail. Early MIME implementations effect a transition
| from text to multimedia, but the overall task is
| enormous - requiring nothing less than the replacement
| of ASCII as the "common denominator." This talk
| provides an overview of MIME, then describes current
| MIME implementations and the remaining obstacles that
| separate us from the dream of universal multimedia
| communication.
