Multipurpose Internet Mail Exchange (MIME) types instruct a web browser or mail application how to handle files received from a server.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, when a web browser requests an item on a server, it also requests the MIME type of the object.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Some MIME types, like graphics, can be displayed inside the browser. Others, such as word processing documents, require an external application to be displayed.<\/span><\/p>\n
