There is already enough email noise thanks to spam. It might make sense
to reply to some of it though, to create the illusion of a fully
connected network (i.e. poison the data).

Well, it might make sense to finally get a standard for email headers
within the easily encryptable data bits, so the outer message headers
would show only communication between some gateway service and the
communications endpoint.

Of course, there is always the option of a P2P darknet. :-)
