Just out of a curiousity, why is it that no remailers accept ecash? (This is not a jibe at remailer operators or authors of remailer software. I am really curious if this is a "didn't get to it yet" sort of thing, or if there's something hard about it.)
One item which has been missing is an accessible API. (The Digicash merchant software is, I believe, designed for online use only.) This need is about to be fulfilled.
Digicash has software for Unix platforms which one could very easily call from a Perl script. Sure, it wouldn't be pretty, it wouldn't be ideal, but it would work and should be easy to incorporate into many of the remailers. (I think.)

True, but then the remailer's income would be available to LE, since payee anonymity isn't supported by DC. Accountless operation is by far a better alternative for some business. --Steve
