module MIME

  #
  # Discrete media must be handled by non-MIME mechanisms; they are opaque to
  # MIME processors. Therefore, the body of a DiscreteMedia object does not need
  # further MIME processing.
  #
  # This class is abstract.

  #
  # Application is intended for discrete data that is to be processed by some
  # type of application program. The body contains information which must be
  # processed by an application before it is viewable or usable by a user.
  #
  # Application is the catch all class. If your content cannot be identified as
  # another DiscreteMedia, then it is application media.

  # Video is intended for discrete video content. The content +subtype+
  # indicates the specific video format. The RFC describes video media as
