Tracking every piece of e-mail...

Indeed.

That's the ultimate goal.

There are other ways. Fully anonymous, self-clearing digital bearer shares. Pure bi-directionally anonymous e-money.

But that scheme will never get implemented because the minit it happens, no looting govt will ever be able to confiscate a penny from you.

This technology brings the cost of a transaction to sub-penny level, opening the door to micro-payements.

In the long run, that is what should be implemented for e-mail. Pay 1/10th ¢ per e-mail sent. But I think Mr. Gate$ plan involves IPV6, the answer to Big Brother myopic eye' prayer under IP V4.
