Either way, it's something different from what we have now.
It does sound a bit like an S/MIME message, doesn't it?
Yes, a "triple-wrapped" one; and sadly many "MIME" implementations
can't handle fairly simple MIME nesting (e.g.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=184869
). So, almost certainly, many recipients would be unable to view
such messages. I think that's the right general direction, though,
and perhaps it would encourage developers to fix buggy "MIME"
implementations.
