What other sources, besides rfc822, are there that define and explain
the allowable mail-headers ( and particularly, explain how they are 
supposed to be interpreted and how they actually ARE interpreted by 
various mail ( & News) software )

I know there are several later RFC's on 822 to x.400 mapping. 
Has anyone made a bibliography of the Mail related RFC's ? 
Any other good sources ?

You could try the RFC mail server at isi.edu

send a message to rfc-info@isi.edu, with one request per line:
    Help: Help
for a generalized help message
    Help: Manual
for a longish (30p) user manual
    List: RFC
    Keywords: X.400
for a list of all RFCs dealing with X.400

In case of problems, etc., send mail to rfc-manager@isi.edu
