Abstract

This paper presents a multimedia mail system which can transmit and receive multimedia mailing messages on Internet. This mail system is an extension of the existing e-mail system for multimedia data including text, image, MPEG video, and binary data. The MIME(Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension) format, which is an extension of RFC-822 mail format, is used to represent multimedia data, and SMTP(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is utilized as a mail transport protocol. The IMAP(Internet Mail Access Protocol), which provides more functions than the widely used POP(Post Office Protocol), is used as a mailbox retrieval protocol. The mail client is implemented on a multimedia PC while the server is implemented on a UNIX system. In the mail system, a mail sending program allows a user to attach binary file such as Postscript file and MPEG compressed video, while a receiving program provides direct interface to application programs to play back received multimedia mail messages.
