## What it is
Symfony MIME is a PHP component for creating and manipulating MIME messages, including email construction with headers, attachments, and multipart content. It underpins Symfony's Mailer component and is widely used across major PHP projects.

## Use cases
- compose emails with attachments in php
- build multipart mime messages
- parse and manipulate mime message headers
- create html and plain text email bodies
- detect mime types of files
- embed images in emails

## When to choose
- you need standards-compliant email message construction in PHP
- you use Symfony Mailer or Laravel and need the underlying message layer
- you need low-level control over MIME parts, headers, and attachments

## When to avoid
- you only need to send emails and prefer a higher-level mailer API
- you are not working in PHP
- you need a full email client or SMTP server

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: email, serialization
- domain: email, backend, web-development
- platform: php
- tags: mime, symfony-component, email-messages, attachments
