       We should stick stamps on emails just because it's cute.

       Do we need more stamps when the attachments are larger? And/or is it more about the distance (hops) of travel?

       The stamps on a received mail should get semi-transparant post marks for each hop from the respective server. Could be generated from the mail header info.

       Can't wait for bouncing mails because there weren't enough stamps on it :D

       But serious question: where would I "inject" my stamp generation on the mail process? Would need to be a client plugin or something like that, I guess?

       @bleeptrack this is quite a wholesome idea! some ways to prototype this could be a custom email web client that renders the mails in this way, or a daemon that fetches and forwards your mails to another of your addresses, with stamps attached

       @mntmn @bleeptrack sadly you probably cannot build a plugin for a receiving mail server because it would break DKIM signatures. The outgoing server however could add stamps and the mail client then has to render the postmark depending on the mail header. But that would be complicated because it touches so many software projects. I think a client only solution would be the easiest (or you do the spam processing and afterwards deliberately remove the DKIM signature on the receiving server)Now i want this 🙂 it’s such a neat idea to bring back some of the “old days”. I remember decorating the envelopes was a thing too that’s completely gone with electronic equivalents too.
