How does this idea sound: a forwarding service/remailer that accepts encrypted and forwards it to someone else (specified in the message), encrypting the message to that person. Such a service can be set up at a site with *lots* of keys given to it. This way if one wants to spontaneously send a message to someone that she doesn't have a key for, she can use the service. (Perhaps the service would only accept or forward mail from/to people who submitted their keys, and possibly eca$h... it could also bounce messages back, re-encrypted, if there's a failure...) This could be used like anonymous remailers to foil traffic analysis, but also for people who, in certain situations, don't want/need anonymitiy with the person they are corresponding with, and who don't necessarily have keys handy.
