MIME-View is a kernel of user interface to display or operate MIME
messages, STD 11 messages or ``localized RFC 822'' messages.@refill

+MIME-View is the kernel of the user interface for browsing MIME
+messages. You can start some presentation-method which is a program for
+creating some representation, or some acting-method which is a program
+for processing the entity. Then you can deal with a variety of entities.

+The representation form of the internet messages in electric letters
+or in net news is based on STD 11. The STD 11 message body is a plain
+text which consists of lines as its only structure, and the character
+code is fixed as us-ascii. Actually, there are ``localized STD 11''
+messages that use some character code in their linguistic range
+instead of using us-ascii. Even in that case, the character code in
+the message is single. Therefore, Message User Agents have considered
+(byte row) = (us-ascii string), or (byte row) = (string in the
+character code in the linguistic range).@refill
+
+Although, the MIME message has the tree structure in entity unit.
+And one message can contain multiple character codes. The content of
+an entity can be not only a letter or an image that can be displayed
+simply, but also can be a voice or an animation that are played for
+some time interval, a data for some specific application, a source
+code of some program, or an external reference that consists of
+the usage of ftp or mail service, or some URL. Therefore the simple
+extension of STD 11 user interface, which only consider displaying
+the message, cannot treat all of the MIME functionalities.
+Then it is not sufficient to decode message along its MIME type, but
+it is also required to consider a playback processing through some
+dialogue with the user. The format of MIME messages is designed
+to easily be passed to automatic processing. But some contents in the
+MIME message should not be passed to automatic processing for security
+reasons. So it should be designed to ask user in such cases.
+After all, in order to deal with MIME message, it is required to
+distinguish the representation for information exchange which is
+written in STD 11 or MIME construction, and its result
+after some interpretation which is a display screen or a playback
+process. It is also needed to converse with user for playback
+processing.@refill
+
+Therefore, MIME-View uses two buffers for one document, one is the
+mime-raw-buffer that stores the representation for information exchange,
+and the other is the mime-preview-buffer that stores the representation
+for displaying.@refill
+
+MIME-View provides a mode in the mime-preview-buffer for reading MIME
+message, which is called as mime-view-mode. User can manipulate each
+entity there.
