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.

They are clearly documented in the early FTP RFCs. 753 sticks in my head. But the index will help you find the right ones...
