x.400

from The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (8 July 2008)
X.400

   <messaging> The set of {ITU-T} communications standards
   covering {electronic mail} services provided by data networks.
   X.400 was widely used in Europe and Canada.

   X.400 addresses tend to be much longer than {RFC 822} ones.
   They consist of a set of bindings for country (c),
   {administrative domain} (a), {primary management domain} (p),
   surname (s), given name (g).

   For example, the X.400 address,

   	c=gb;a=attmail;p=Universal Export;s=Bond;g=James;

   might be equivalent to RFC 822
