Nothing serious, just throwing a quick thought out...

It has been mentioned that you should always use crypto. If you wait until
you actually have something private to send, then an adversary will know
exactly which message is important. Encrypting everything gives equal
suspicion to each message and nobody has the resources to attack all of your
mail.

So, I was thinking that rather than just encrypt each message, why not just
keep a constant encrypted stream open? So, even when you are asleep,
computers at each node are bombarding each other with encrypted "junk"
files. Your noise to signal ratio would be phenomenal.

The main problem to solve as I see it would be for legitimate recipients to
be able to determine when a message is real and not trash, without letting
an adversary know.
