So how long will it be before someone comes up with a distributed decentralized solution for encrypted "e-mail", much like a kind of BitTorrent+DHT+Tor for communications?

With some kind of intermediate "routing" where a few clients keep a message "online" until the intended recipient finally downloads it, or some kind of timeout expires?

But also supporting G-Chat-like functionality whenever both computers are online at the same time?

I mean, forget about interoperability with SMTP or existing e-mail addresses... just make it crypto-only, with client software just like BitTorrent programs like uTorrent, Transmission, Vuze, etc.
