   Hey Charles!   
      
    CP> How do you know that it's actually dead people you are   
    CP> communicating with? It could be aliens or Sidhe.   
      
   I like the special nodelist flag idea so that certain nodes could be used as   
   portals and/or gateways between the living and the dead.  That way messages   
   created by the dead people using an well thought out digital Ouija board could   
   be transcribed to the ftn msg format and then distributed to those living   
   persons concerned.   
      
   As for aliens or Sidhe I believe regular msg'ing apps could be deployed since   
   they probably don't use Ouija boards for communications.  They'd just need a   
   nodenumber and someone(s) to connect with for echomail distribution.   
      
   Keep it simple I say.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
