Right; this is an SMTP thing (RFC-821).  However SMTP is only for
transport and the content format RFC-822 defines a simple way to
encapsulate messages in other messages: "Content-Type: message/rfc822".
Using this feature it is possible to keep the entire RFC-822 based mail
infrastructure while using a different transport mechanism.  This can be
done mostly transparent for existing applications using a private or
corporate gateways.
