Can we create two threads which are in different processes, but in
the same MTA? If we can, how?

No.

Igor means we can?

Most certainly not. Whatever gave you this absurd idea?

This is what he mentioned before, quote,

--------------------

There is no marshaling between calls when both the caller and the
callee are living in an MTA thread.

.... except when the two threads belong to two different processes
(possibly running on different machines).
--------------------

The marshalling can take place between two MTA threads precisely
_because_ they belong to different apartments (by virtue of running in
different processes). Marshalling never happens when both the caller and
the callee live in the same apartment. Only cross-apartment calls ever
involve marshalling. I'm not sure how many different ways I have to
restate it to get the point across.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
