To (hopefully) clarify your clarification:
RFC 822 defines both a message format and rules for extending that format.
MIME extends the message format by following the rules defined in RFC 822.
Therefore, a MIME message is a valid RFC 822 message; but any message in
a format that extends RFC 822 without following those rules, is not.
