Mmm.
Doesn't IM requiere permanent connection? For status updates, etc?
I'd like to know what you think about two things:
1) We know email is broken (at least unsafe and prone to spam)

2) What is the best alternative for this scenario? Is it really IM?

3) Are there other (IP-based) protocolos suitable for delivering the

encrypted messages?
