Explanation

MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is the standard protocol that extends email to support non-ASCII content including video, audio, images, and application files as attachments or inline content. It defines content types (e.g., image/jpeg, audio/mp3) and encoding schemes (e.g., Base64) to safely transmit binary data over email. BINHEX is a Mac-specific encoding. UUCODE (UUEncode) is an older Unix encoding method. UTF-16 is a character encoding standard, not an email protocol.
