7.3.1. The Message/rfc822 (primary) subtype
A Content-Type of "message/rfc822" indicates that the body contains
an encapsulated message, with the syntax of an RFC 822 message.
However, unlike top-level RFC 822 messages, it is not required that
each message/rfc822 body must include a "From", "Subject", and at
least one destination header.
It should be noted that, despite the use of the numbers "822", a
message/rfc822 entity can include enhanced information as defined in
this document. In other words, a message/rfc822 message may be a
MIME message.
