Just use netnews for mail then. We can divide up netnews into different
regions pgp.us.ca.north pgp.us.ca.south etc. and then just post pgp'd
messages to the net. Kinda like blacknet. Ok so there's a high cost
involved in it, granted.
Also writing a bot to search through net news daily for anything signed
with your PGP key isn't too difficult.
