[ Here is another list extracted from RFC-1327 - sdm ]
RFC 1327 Mapping between X.400(1988) and RFC 822 May 1992
2.2. RFC 822
RFC 822 does not explicitly define service elements, as distinct from
protocol elements. However, all of the RFC 822 header fields, with
the exception of trace, can be regarded as corresponding to implicit
RFC 822 service elements.
2.2.1. Origination in RFC 822
A mechanism of mapping, used in several cases, is to map the RFC 822
header into a heading extension in the IPM (InterPersonal Message).
This can be regarded as partial support, as it makes the information
available to any X.400 implementations which are interested in these
services. Communities which require significant RFC 822 interworking
are recommended to require that their X.400 User Agents are able to
display these heading extensions. Support for the various service
elements (headers) is now listed.
Date:
Supported.
From:
Supported. For messages where there is also a sender field,
the mapping is to "Authorising Users Indication", which has
subtly different semantics to the general RFC 822 usage of
From:.
Sender:
Supported.
Reply-To:
Supported.
To: Supported.
Cc: Supported.
Bcc: Supported.
Message-Id:
Supported.
In-Reply-To:
Supported, for a single reference. Where multiple
references are given, partial support is given by mapping to
"Cross Referencing Indication". This gives similar
semantics.
References:
Supported.
Keywords:
Supported by use of a heading extension.
Subject:
Supported.
Comments:
Supported by use of an extra body part.
Encrypted:
Supported by use of a heading extension.
Resent-*
Supported by use of a heading extension. Note that
addresses in these fields are mapped onto text, and so are
not accessible to the X.400 user as addresses. In
principle, fuller support would be possible by mapping onto
a forwarded IP Message, but this is not suggested.
Other Fields
In particular X-* fields, and "illegal" fields in common
usage (e.g., "Fruit-of-the-day:") are supported by use of
heading extensions.
2.2.2. Reception by RFC 822
This considers reception by an RFC 822 User Agent of a message
originated in an X.400 system and transferred across a gateway. The
following standard services (headers) may be present in such a
message:
