Federated, encrypted Matrix letters

Federated, encrypted Matrix letters

An email-alternative over the Matrix protocol, called "matrix letters" (short: male), or the enhance version "encrypted matrix letters" (short: e-male), or the most sophisticated version "federated, encrypted matrix letters" (short: female). Let me know how much you hate the name :-)
