I doubt there'll ever be much demand. The tinfoil hat crowd will be =20
bothered by the n-1 hops (and however many Narus boxes in between) =20
being traversed unencrypted, while most everyone else seemingly =20
doesn't care and uses GMail/Hotmail/YahooMail, forfeiting any =20

(e.g. slicehost.com) makes it fairly uncomplicated, modulo initial =20
setup.
