Try looking on the 1985 DECUS symposium tape.
They have a nice SMTP system that will send messages between
a UNIX and VMS site over a serial line or ethernet. I can dredge up
more details for you if you need them, since I don't happen to have them 
handy at this moment.

| As an extra, I would like to know the format of the VMS envelope 

In the mailer negotionations, the only things that don't get sent
as pure (uninterpeted) text are the SENDER and the ADDRESSEEs.
I can give you a better decription of this protocol if you really
need it since (I think) it is in the public domain. HOWEVER,
VMS 5.x is changing the mail protocols so this probably won't be much 
use to you.
