  Although overall design of MIME standard remained the same,
there have been some evolution and I guess it's better to give the
references to the up-to-date RFCs :-). IETF RFC 1341/1342 have gotten
obsoleted by RFC 1521/1522/1590 which have been superceded, in turn,
by RFC 204[5-9] and RFC 2184/2231/2646 (all of these are available
at <http://www.ietf.org>)
