It is a set of parameters created by the *sender* of the mail, that tell the
*recipient* "here - run FTP like *THIS* to get the file".
We probably would have just put a URL like ftp://ftp-server.whatever.dom/some/path
instead, but that section of MIME was done in the early 90's and pre-dates
URLs.

It's not handled by your mail server. It's handled by your mail *CLIENT*
(the program actually displaying the mail on your monitor).
