ACK, yet everything you mention (except the generate-while-you-write) could be 
done be the daemon:
* can be used by any MUA that uses a sendmail-like program to send its mail, 
on any OS that understands Perl
* could use the double-spend database to figure out likely recipients (if we 
ask Kyle nicely to implement this) and pre-generate stamps if there's time 
for it
