Could you use a mailer that does not send out thousand character lines? You
are supposed to wrap lines after ~75 characters on the internet. But
returning to the question, yes, you can perform tricks to create a tunnel
within the same subnet. 

This is done with proxy arp, which tells the router on Network A about which
hosts live on Network B. Network A will then think the router contains
Network B - no explicit routes are needed.

I *think* this will do what you want but I'd advise against it. There are
SMB proxy servers available which can help you browse over network borders.
Those are probably the right solution.

Regards,
