   Oh yeah.. netmail could work that way exclusively. Good point.     
   That could be reasonably invisible to the NSA/spy.  But the use     
   of the binkp can still be deteted, no?  And if that's the case,     
   they can start focusing their observations on systems that use     
   it and probe deeper.
