Very interesting. Most probably not. I wonder if that is a bit of the
thing with privacy-disrespecting & closed Internet services - it does
not give incentive nor the right to care about others data. E.g. if I
don't want my data to reach Gmail then that is impossible if that is the
solution that the correspondant uses. A remailer or something is the
only alternative apart from snail-mail.

Another article about it, perhaps not so different:
