Both sides though what they were seeing was beautiful, yes.  :-)

Crash flavored direct netmail has been doing that for me for years.
IMHO, If the message is so sensitive or important that it needs encoding, I 
certainly wouldn't even consider routing it.  Delivering such a message 
directly ensures integrity and security.
But then that's the crux of the argument, isn't it?  :-)
