I had thought about that idea. It wouldn't be as flexible as a Socks
proxy though as you'd need to configure it to connect to a particular
SMTP server over Tor. Perhaps in your torrc:

SMTPPort     25
SMTPRelay    smtp.gmail.com:465
SMTPRelaySSL On
SMTPRelayUser username
SMTPRelayPass password

It could strip a variety of headers, check for keywords, obfuscate the
timezone in the Date header etc etc. You could even configure it to
reject mail that isn't pgp signed or encrypted. Could give it a
whitelist of addresses that you're allowed to email. That sort of thing.

That would be neat. I'm not sure if anyone would be willing to put in
the work though. I wish I could code C.

Or of course, you could have an entirely separate application to do all
that, ala privoxy/polipo.
