really.

If you don't have From:, To:, Subject: and Date: Headers between 
DATA
and
.
no MUA will show them.

A senseful telnet session to an MTA looks like

telnet [mtaip] 25
<220 [mtahost] ESMTP
>EHLO [hostname]
<250 [host]
<250 [multiple feature lines]
>MAIL FROM: [envelope sender]
<250 ok
>RCPT TO: [recipient]
<250 ok
>DATA
<354 go ahead
From: Name <email address>
To: Name <email address>
Subject: a senseful subject
Date: a correct datestring

The text appearing in the body
.

<250 ok [ts] qp [inode]
>QUIT
