I hope you are right; if you are, that lets us kill two birds with one
stone. I would certainly be in favour of that. Crypto is a tough
challenge and let's not go there if we don't have to.
We should run a few scenarios to ensure that 2822 + LMAP can work
reasonably well and will be robust and resistant to attack. I don't
want to make a promise I can't keep. How might spammers might try to
defeat the algorithm?
