MIME E-mail Encapsulation of Aggregate Documents, such as HTML (MHTML)

摘要

Although HTML [RFC 1866] was designed within the context of MIME,more than the specification of HTML as defined in RFC 1866 is neededfor two electronic mail user agents to be able to interoperate usingHTML as a document format. These issues include the naming of objectsthat are normally referred to by URIs, and the means of aggregatingobjects that go together. This document describes a set of guidelinesthat will allow conforming mail user agents to be able to send,deliver and display these objects, such as HTML objects, that cancontain links represented by URIs. In order to be able to handleinter-linked objects, the document uses the MIME typemultipart/related and specifies the MIME content-headers 'Content-Location' and 'Content-Base'.
