[tor-talk] Mailpile SMTorP [ref: nexgen P2P email]

[grarpamp]

Mailpile is interesting because it moves the concept of "webmail"
from the remote service (where the user is nothing more than
enslaved cannon fodder) to the user locally as an embeddable
daemon.

This eliminates the fact that all these new centralised OpenPGP
webmail providers will have access to your keys/cleartext, because
either:
A) it resides there
B) the malware they give you to run in your browser gives it away.

Mailpile is now looking to deliver directly between onions [1].

They could probably use some thoughts / hands / review.
