Yup. X.400 is here to stay. There are several very nice features to this
superset protocol (and no I didn't write the requirement spec.). It is
called MTA (Mail Transport Agent) and is used by several mailers. It is
quite comprehensive including support for binary format messages and
attachments.

I get sick of the various GARGANTUA mail headers that come down the wire
but what is really needed are better user agent programs, not RFC822. It
is not sufficient beyond ASCII text messages and most of the planet doesn't
grok alphabetic.
