Hi Anders:
You may be interested in PLASMA - the draft is:

I believe there will be a BOF at the upcoming meeting in Prague.
Best Regards,
Patrick.

That e-mail also is the least secure messaging system there is of course a
nuisance.
Although e-mail hast lost some of its importance to other communication
systems,
I still think it is worth an upgrade.
STARTTLS is nice but its key handling and integration in e-mail clients is not
particularly useful. Sending non-encrypted messages should be an exception.
IMHO, STARTTLS, DOMKEY and email clients could be combined so that we
get domain-secured e-mail as default.
Or is it better to create an entirely new messaging system to get rid of the
legacy?
I believe the update frequency of today makes client upgrades a no-issue.
