10.5 MIME Types

A Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) type identifies the format of a file.
The MIME type enables applications to read the file. Applications such as Internet
browsers and e-mail applications use the MIME type to handle files of different types.
For example, an e-mail application can use the MIME type to detect what type of file
is attached to an e-mail.
The Nautilus file manager uses MIME types to identify the type of a file. The file
manager needs to know the MIME type of a file to perform the following tasks:
• Open the file in an appropriate application
• Display a string that describes the type of file
• Display an appropriate icon to represent the file
• Display a list of other applications that can open the file
