Configure MIME mail settings
Configure settings in a policy to identify encoded MIME messages and take necessary actions.
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) is a communications standard that enables the transfer of non-ASCII formats over protocols (such as SMTP) that supports only 7-bit ASCII characters.
MIME defines different ways of encoding the non-ASCII formats so that they can be represented using characters in the 7-bit ASCII character set.
