To the extent that x.400 use became common, it wasn't unusual to see a 
business card with a multi-line email address, for all the attributes 
you gave, but listing a /series/ of ADMDs, for all the carriers you 
could reach the person through.  Each carrier, really, meant a different 
email address.

(People often miss the wonderfulness of the MX record, and, more 
generally, separating names from addresses from routes.  Someone should 
write about that...)
