Do you have any pointers handy (read: in cache) to where I can read
more about FTP's involvement in early email?
If not, I'll do some searches and see what I can come up with. If
nothing else, I suspect that early RFCs 821 (?) will make
references to what it's supplanting.
RFC 114 or 765 might cover it.
