Tracking every piece of e-mail... 
 
Indeed. 
 
That's the ultimate goal.   
 
There are other ways.  Fully anonymous, self-clearing digital bearer shares.  Pure bi-directionally anonymous e-money. 
 
But that scheme will never get implemented because the minit it happens, no looting govt will ever be able to confiscate a penny from you. 
 
This technology brings the cost of a transaction to sub-penny level, opening the door to micro-payements. 
 
In the long run, that is what should be implemented for e-mail.  Pay 1/10th ¢ per e-mail sent.  But I think Mr. Gate$ plan involves IPV6, the answer to Big Brother myopic eye' prayer under IP V4.
