CompuServe's main e-mail service is ASCII text based, and is not MIME compliant. However, CompuServe provides Base-64 MIME compliant transport of attached binary files.
CompuServe versions prior to 4.02 allowed one binary attachment per e-mail message. Beginning with version 4.02 users are allowed two binary attachments per e-mail message.
