Both RubyMail and TMail can deal with email messages from Ruby
(disclaimer, I wrote RubyMail).

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by your second paragraph, since
SMTP is a network protocol for transferring mail, not a format for
storing it in a mailbox.  My guess though is that you'll have to write
some Ruby code using RubyMail or TMail to get what you want done.
