You mean RFC2822. RFC2022 is about multicast over ATM (a non-TCP/IP
network protocol.)
Also, even 2822 probably won't help you that much, though it is a
valid reference. What you're interested in is MIME wrapping of
forwarded messages and older forwarded messages. The older standard is
RFC934 (standard for encapsulating messages), and the relevant MIME
probably is RFC2045 (obsoletes RFC1521).
Note that no matter what you do, I don't think you'll be able to do
this reliably - forwarded mail messages just don't follow the
standards 100%. So, any implementation is an improvement - you don't
have to hit 100% to make this useful.
