I don't particularly care about mystic either (as you know), but don't
want to lose those who seem to be tethered to it.

and while building something on top of HTTPS would be fun, it's kind of
pointless if no one uses it.

I got all excited by this idea a few days ago and started adding "json
exporting" to postie (my mail tosser / scanner) and learning go to make a
server/client, but the enthusiasm has fizzled a bit (mainly due to other
stuff preoccupying my mind)

Plus, I don't really know the best way to do the transmission, I was
thinking just using POST with a node number and password and having the
server respond with json messages in the response.

Thinking about having a client requesting particular messages but not
sure how that would work at being interoperable with older systems (ie
message-ids are all over the place... if they exist at all)

I'm not sure if it's worth building, I mean, why not just go all the way
and rip out echomail from the bbs and just put in an NNTP client.

I suppose why do any of this at all, when we could just setup a
private phpBB or something and chat on that? I guess the interest is in
tinkering and experimenting.
