So, picking the metadata battle:

Its straightforward from the command line to email crypto-content to your desired addressee while emailing(spamming?) to a few more auto-generated others. These newly(if functional) spammed others would value your contact, as it provides them with a participating valid email account, so `spamee' can now also `shotgun' emails to more addressees further obfuscating his intended addressee(s). If this became popular, universal, The graph of all our email metadata (nodes?) becomes chaotic.

The SUBJECT: header could be automated to filter through all this new junkmail.

What else, hmmmmnnn...
