SUMMARY

You can configure the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) content type and corresponding file extension mappings so that the Internet Mail Connector (IMC) will automatically decode the contents of a MIME message.

When setting up Associated Extensions on the MIME Types tab in the IMC property page, the length of the Associated Extensions is limited to a maximum of 16 characters.


MORE INFORMATION

According to Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q137754, Windows 95 will allow much longer extensions when specifying the MIME Extensions in My Computer-View-Options-FileTypes. These MIME entries will also be read when receiving Internet Mail.
