MIME headers

MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) headers are added to email to describe content type and content encoding, such as the type of text in the email body or the program that generated the email. Some examples of MIME headers include:

X-mailer: outgluck

X-Distribution: bulk

Content_Type: text/html

Content_Type: image/jpg

The first part of the MIME header is called the header key, or just header. The second part is called the value. Spammers will often insert comments into header values or leave them blank. These malformed headers can fool some spam and virus filters.
