MIME defines a format and general framework for the representation of
a wide variety of data types in Internet mail. This document defines
one particular type of MIME data, the text/enriched MIME type. The
text/enriched MIME type is intended to facilitate the wider
interoperation of simple enriched text across a wide variety of
hardware and software platforms. This document is only a minor
revision to the text/enriched MIME type that was first described in
RFC 1523 and RFC 1563, and is only intended to be used in the short
term until other MIME types for text formatting in Internet mail are
developed and deployed.
