It is used to +send things by email which are not necessarily simple plain text. (For +example, MIME would be used if you were sending a picture of your dog to +a friend.) + +<P> +A MIME digest has each message as an attachment inside the message, along +with a summary table of contents. + +<P> +A plain text digest is a simpler form of digest, which should be readable +even in mail readers which don't support MIME.
