MIME is an extension to the email message format defined in RFC 5322, which supersedes the earlier RFC 822 standard. RFC 821 defines the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), but does not include any provisions for message formatting. RFC 3852 defines the Cryptographic Message Syntax (CMS), which is used for digitally signed and/or encrypted messages. RFC 4871 specifies the Sieve email filtering language. None of these directly relate to the MIME framework.
