Exactly what in the process of adding a line (or two) at the beginning
of the data stream from the network to disk makes you believe MTAs know
about 2822 content?
MTAs will often add Message-ID, and Date headers because email
client don't. To do so an MTA must parse and understand the
basic headers of a message.
Also MTAs might have to translate body types form 8 bit to 7 bit data.
An MTA can accept a message in 8bitMime but in forwarding the message
to its final destination might hit another MTA that only takes 7 bit
encodings. Postfix for example can do the translation form 8 bit to
7. To do so it must understand the message structure.
There are probably other examples as well.

wg from considering 2822 as a part of the solution. like it or not
MTAs
know about 2822 content. in the simplest example of this, consider the
Received: header.
