I totally agree about the value of high-latency anonymity systems, and unsurprisingly I also agree that messaging over Tor is a good idea, but I think we should devote some time to working out how the two things fit together - maybe try to get the Tor research community interested. If we simply use Tor as a low-latency transport for asynchronous messaging then we're limited to Tor's threat model, i.e. we can't prevent traffic confirmation attacks. If we revive one of the remailers or build a new system then we're limited to a small number of users, i.e. a small anonymity set. So ideally we'd find some way of adding high-latency mix-like features to Tor. Done right, this could provide a large anonymity set for the high-latency users and improve the traffic analysis resistance of Tor for the low-latency users at the same time, by providing a pool of latency-insensitive traffic to smooth out the bursty low-latency traffic between relays.
