MIME

Encoder Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension is the Internet standard for attaching non-text files to standard Internet mail messages. Because PDF and TIFF files are binary, MIME encoding is necessary to convert regular binary data into 7-bit ASCII encoding.

MTIFF (tif.)

A multiple page TIFF allows the user to send multiple .tif documents as one attachment. Some applications are not able to read multiple page .tif documents and only recognize the first page. The attachment appears with a .tif extension, as does the tagged image file format (.tif).
