[p2p-research] P2P Email

[marc fawzi]

It's frustrating because I ASSUME that all of this is very intuitive
and obvious when this interaction is telling me that for some it is
not obvious nor intuitive for people who are not software developers.

Sitting down and writing a structured and detailed article about it is
too costly time and energy wise.

The idea is that someone with similar intuition (e.g. software
engineer with experience in network and software architecture) would
find the idea exciting and they'd undertake detailed design of such a
system, which does not involve anything new or untested, just
established patterns.... that is whenever Ipv6 gets adopted because it
is much more challenging and costly with IPv4 and very hard ot
practically impossible to achieve for mobile phones (because of the
proxies carriers use which only allow HTTP)
