Draft 3

Thanks for the update! A thought about getting email to the client
from desktop email clients: we might be able to use the "local folders"
feature of basically every email client to do this... i.e., I can
imagine a Thunderbird plugin that just created a new Local Folder
called "OkopipiJunk", and adjusted the Junk Mail settings on accounts
to move Junk to that folder. The client could just poll that.

The loopback port might well be cleaner -- we'll have to see how plugin
implementation goes.

BTW, those plugins (on various clients) are pretty big candidates for
proof-of-concept code... once you have a rough idea of the client side
of things -- particularly if we had a dead-simple client that would
just log the messages received locally for testing -- you can get
developers working on individual plugins, and give them a forum to
share results.

Cheers!

I've got a python script that (built on libgmail and another person's
initial code) pulls spam down from GMail, parses it (to extract the
websites the spammer wants to send people to), and decodes base64
attachments into GIF images. Since GMail is used by a very large
group of people, a solution that will work for all GMail accounts
could be a good starting place to fight spam. Admittedly, Python is
not a very common interpreter for people to have on their PCs, but my
question is more general: What is needed to get gnunet up and running
to distribute templates in a secure manner? If there's working code
out there, at least *some* people will use it, and it can catalyze
development of solutions for the general public. If I can give gnunet
some spam metrics (i.e. spam ID), and get back a trusted template for
opting out on the spammer's site, I can handle the rest.

Could you post this script somewhere so we have access to it. Also,
the parent's link for draft 3 is broken.

The link for draft 3 works for me; it's a PDF file (maybe your browser
isn't handling that correctly?).
