Subject: Encrypting forwarding service?

How does this idea sound: a forwarding service/remailer that accepts
encrypted and forwards it to someone else (specified in the message),
encrypting the message to that person.
Such a service can be set up at a site with *lots* of keys given to
it. This way if one wants to spontaneously send a message to someone
that she doesn't have a key for, she can use the service. (Perhaps
the service would only accept or forward mail from/to people who
submitted their keys, and possibly eca$h... it could also bounce
messages back, re-encrypted, if there's a failure...)
This could be used like anonymous remailers to foil traffic analysis,
but also for people who, in certain situations, don't want/need
anonymitiy with the person they are corresponding with, and who don't
necessarily have keys handy.
Comments?
Rob.
