<div><p>Standard Internet text notes consist of a general header and a
text body. MIME notes, however, can contain multiple parts, which allows multimedia
attachments to be included with the text.</p>
<div class="section"><p>If the general header contains a content type of <samp class="codeph">Multipart/Mixed</samp>,
one or more attachments follow. There are beginning and ending boundaries
for each attachment. The boundary identifier is set on the <var class="varname">boundary=</var> parameter
that follows the "Content-Type" header tag. See <a href="#rzairpopmimecontent__FIGMIME1">Figure 1</a> for
an example of a multipart MIME note. In this example, each part has a content
type, and each text content type can optionally have a character set (charset)
defined.</p>
