Section 8.2 seems to talk about how you send plaintext email via SMTP to users who aren't using Skiff.

But that's not what I'm talking about with respect to end-to-end encryption. The white paper refers repeatedly to "browser" users. Your server can feed arbitrary Javascript to browsers and subvert encryption in a variety of ways, can't it?

I'm still not clear why you designed a new, simplistic cryptosystem at all here; can't you do everything you're trying to do here on top of Matrix? Again: the cryptography promises you're making only work between users of your system.
