Depends quite what you mean:
| 0821 Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. J. Postel. Aug-01-1982. (Format:
| TXT=124482 bytes) (Obsoletes RFC0788) (Obsoleted by RFC2821) (Also
| STD0010) (Status: STANDARD)
^^^^^^^^
| 0822 Standard for the format of ARPA Internet text messages. D.
| Crocker. Aug-13-1982. (Format: TXT=109200 bytes) (Obsoletes RFC0733)
| (Obsoleted by RFC2822) (Updated by RFC1123, RFC1138, RFC1148,
| RFC1327, RFC2156) (Also STD0011) (Status: STANDARD)
^^^^^^^^
| 2821 Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. J. Klensin, Ed.. April 2001.
| (Format: TXT=192504 bytes) (Obsoletes RFC0821, RFC0974, RFC1869)
| (Status: PROPOSED STANDARD)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| 2822 Internet Message Format. P. Resnick, Ed.. April 2001. (Format:
| TXT=110695 bytes) (Obsoletes RFC0822) (Status: PROPOSED STANDARD)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But yes, new software should be written to 2821 and 2822 rather than 821 and
822.
