Firstly, i love the recursive nature of the implementaion: "mnm is not mail"! Also, quite a fascinating approach; hoping it works out! Me being a fanboy of the matrix protocol, I've often wondered if there is a valid use-case for matrix to enable safe, secure communications between site user/customer, and site manager(s). Not just chat, but a sort of customer support mechanism, but also a safe, private mechanism for site managers and/or orgs to do reasanble outreach to user/customers. And, no, it need not be chatbots, though i suppose there would be a desire by some orgs for an implementation like that at the end of the day. My hope would be of course for a better chatbot than current standards. Obviously, there would need to be the delicate balance of ease of use, privacy for user/customer, ideally decentralization (for empowering liberty/freedoms), integrity of content conveyed (by way of non-tampering/security of content), etc.
In any case, good luck to the folks behind this effort; the more internet protocols (and not centralizied systems/orgs) that can help people, the better!

Yes, the default concept for an Internet messaging service is "everyone can reach anyone". This isn't helpful for online services and businesses who need to reach their members/customers directly & securely, and with a rich content model (e.g. survey/form in message, and structured result in reply).
