MIME types and subtypes provide information about an e-mail’s contents. In general, a MIME media type has two parts: the type and subtype.

The type is a general media type that describes the file category that the attachment falls under such as image, text, or application while the subtype provides more specific information such as what type of file format the file is. In the case of mime application/octet-stream, the word “application” tells us that the file falls under the application category which means that the file could contain application data. The term “octet-stream” in mime application/octet-stream is used when the file contains arbitrary binary data.

Files labeled with the mime application/octet-stream are generally not associated with a specific program. According to the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) Part One standard, “Any entity with an unrecognized Content-Transfer-Encoding must be treated as if it has a Content-Type of mime application/octet-stream regardless of what the Content-Type header field actually says.”

If you encounter an e-mail mime application/octet-stream, you may need to do a little guesswork to determine the right program for opening the file as it is not specified in the subtype field. In a sense, “octet-stream” tells you that the file type is unknown.
