mime encoding is the modern way of attaching binary files to email messages... 
we used to use uu and xx encoding... in all three cases, the bytes of the 
attached file are converted into 7 bit bytes for transmission... the internet, 
in all its glory still doesn't know how to attach files in their raw binary 
format... it would rather make the messages (~1/3rd) larger than to save space 
and speed but oh well...

FWIW: my only experience with synapse and file attachments was writing a DOS and 
OS/2 tool to extract all the parts of a message into separate files so they 
could be weeded out and only the real meat of the message used in further 
processing and transmission... i've not done anything with creating messages 
with mime in them or having attached files... only ripping them apart into their 
individual parts...
