MIME Messages

+ +SILC Protocol supports MIME messages as normal channel and private +messages. By using MIME messages it is possible to send for example +images, music and video and audio stream in SILC. Any MIME type that is +supported by the application can be sent via SILC network. +

+ +The MIME messages are utilized by using so called Message Flags in the +message payload that is used in SILC protocol. The Message Flags +indicates the recipient that the message is a MIME message and it then +knows how to interpret the message. Using Message Flags it possible also +to send other kind of messages and to augment features of normal channel +and private messages. + + +
