I've said before that I think we should call the whole DRUMS beast
(SMTP + RFC 822 + MIME) Internet Mail.

Therefore, it makes sense to call RFC822bis Internet Mail Headers.
SMTP is Internet Mail Transport, but has its old name too.
MIME is Internet Mail Body Formats, but has its old name too.
RFC822bis is Internet Mail Headers, and may also be called IMH.

(Dave, I think Internet Mail Header Options gives a more honest-looking
acronym than Simple Headers for Internet Mail :-)
