   This document defines a MIME content type suitable for tunneling an
   ESMTP [RFC-821, RFC-1869] transaction through any MIME-capable
   transport.  This type can be used for a variety of purposes,
   including:  Extending end-to-end MIME-based security services (e.g.,
   ) to cover message envelope information as well as message
   content.  Making it possible to use specific SMTP extensions such as
   NOTARY [RFC-1891] over unextended SMTP transport infrastructure.
   Enabling the transfer of multiple separate messages in a single
   transactional unit.
