This article is about a figure from Norse Mythology. For the act of miming, see mime.

In Norse mythology, Miming was a forest-dwelling troll, the son of Hothbrod and foster son of Gevar. In a Teutonic version of the myth of the death of Balder, Miming's sword is the weapon that Hodur uses to slay Balder; here, Hodur is not blind but is instead a physically potent figure. Miming's sword was said to have been forged by Weyland, the god of smithing, for his son Heime.

RFC 2045 (rfc2045) - Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) Part One (8084 words)
Character Set The term "character set" is used in MIME to refer to a method of converting a sequence of octets into a sequence of characters.
MIME Header Fields MIME defines a number of new RFC 822 header fields that are used to describe the content of a MIME entity.
Content-Type Defaults Default RFC 822 messages without a MIME Content-Type header are taken by this protocol to be plain text in the US-ASCII character set, which can be explicitly specified as: Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii This default is assumed if no Content-Type header field is specified.
MIME - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1764 words)
MIME is specified in five parts starting with RFC 2045, RFC 2046, and RFC 2047.
MIME is also a fundamental component of communication protocols such as HTTP, which requires that data be transmitted in the context of e-mail-like messages, even though the data may not actually be e-mail.
MIME defines a collection of e-mail headers for specifying additional attributes of a message including content type, and defines a set of transfer encodings which can be used to represent 8-bit binary data using characters from the 7-bit ASCII character set.
