About 'application/octet-stream' MIME attachments A MIME attachment with the content type 'application/octet-stream' is a binary file. Typically, it will be an application or a document that must be opened in an application, such as a spreadsheet or word processor. If the attachment has a filename extension associated with it, you may be able to tell what kind of file it is. A.exe extension, for example, indicates it is a Windows or DOS program (executable), while a file ending in.doc is probably meant to be opened in Microsoft Word. No matter what kind of file it is, an application/octet-stream attachment is rarely viewable in an email or web client. If you are using a workstation-based client, such as Thunderbird or Outlook, the application should be able to extract and download the attachment automatically.
