Well, a few minutes with `zcat rfc-index.txt | less' came up with the
following.  I cannot gaurantee comprehensiveness, especially with the
ones before RFC-822 as that is before my time.  In particular, in the
700's (and before) there are titles using the word "message" but it isn't
clear that this meant "mail message".

This represents 17 years of development of electronic mail.  I
promise you, there's more developments to come ... ;-)
