eh?
There is no turing equivalence between protocols....If you're saying that you
can run telnet on port 25 to get past packet filters, that's true, but that's
not "using email to tunnel telnet".
You can tunnel a streaming protocol on top of a another streaming protocol,
but I hardly see that this means you can run telnet on top of RFC822.
(And I agree that this has little to do with www-security.)
