MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) headers are added to email to describe
content type and content encoding, such as the type of text in the email body or the
program that generated the email. Some examples of MIME headers include:
• X-mailer: outgluck
• X-Distribution: bulk
• Content_Type: text/html
• Content_Type: image/jpg
The first part of the MIME header is called the header key, or just header. The second
part is called the value. Spammers will often insert comments into header values or
leave them blank. These malformed headers can fool some spam and virus filters.
