I don't see anything in there saying to insert an extra entity level, so
no, there's no wrapping involved.

And as a practical matter, if you wrap the supplied example in either
a multipart/something or a message/rfc822, it's not going to work
correctly in some clients.

P.S. The reason it limits things to "MIME entity" is that way you can't specify
message headers, only MIME stuff, using this mechanism.
