description Translate to and from mail-oriented encoding formats
The mimencode program simply converts a byte stream into (or out of) one \
of the standard mail encoding formats defined by MIME, the proposed \
standard for internet multimedia mail formats. Such an encoding is \
necessary because binary data cannot be sent through the mail. The \
encodings understood by mimencode are preferable to the use of the \
uuencode/uudecode programs, for use in mail, in several respects that \
were important to the authors of MIME.
