I don't think that P2P through email would be such a bad idea... Actual
P2P networks require everyone to be online at the same time, and many
people just don't have their computer on all the time. So a P2P network
that used asynchronous communication might have a much bigger search
base, and be more robust.

Some or all of the information edonkey exchanges -file lists, search
requests and results, file parts- could go in email attachements, so
that clients and server don't even have online at the same time for P2P
file sharing to succeed.

I'd like emule to do file sharing in the best way possible. If it is
modular enough that it can handle finding and getting the file from an
FTP server, altough I would not want it to try to be a general FTP
client- just use it as another way of file sharing, as transparently as 
possible.
