    <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.
