<title>Introduction to GMime</title>
<para>The <application>GMime</application> package contains a set of
utilities for parsing and creating messages using the Multipurpose
Internet Mail Extension (MIME) as defined by the applicable RFCs. See the
<ulink url="http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/">GMime web site</ulink>
for the RFCs resourced. This is useful as it provides an API which adheres
to the MIME specification as closely as possible while also providing
programmers with an extremely easy to use interface to the API
functions.</para>
