A Google search is also interesting:

Well, it doesn't remotely deliver--I think "deliver" implies an active
sender and a passive (or at least waiting) receiver.  "Agent" might not
be the best term either, since a defined mailbox format is itself part
of the layer.  Throwing in lots of terminology where there was none is
somewhat tedious, so I'd rather avoid proposing both "Mail Presentation
Agent" as a subset of "Mail Presentation Layer".  Maybe sticking with
"Layer" is the best approach.
