So what's this 'misfin' thing?

It's a new email protocol created by lem/lem-two. There's a basic python reference implementation, a fork that cipress/gemalaya made, or you can use my server and client software: gitlab.com/clseibold/misfin-server and gitlab.com/clseibold/misfinmail
It uses client certs to identify mail accounts, and it can verify newly-seen accounts by contacting the server at the hostname of the account. This, to me, already dramatically improves upon traditional email.
The message format is basically gemtext with 3 line types added to identify the sender(s), receivers, and timestamp (of when the mail was received). And that's pretty much the whole protocol in terms of sending mail. · 11 months ago
