Email news gateway

I dont really know if web censorship is such a big issue or not to the beeb. There seems to me to be plenty of ways to get around censorship... and here's another. To allow 91Èȱ¬ news into places like China. Email a request to a 3rd party that isnt blocked, that grabs news stories from 91Èȱ¬ news RSS and sends it back. Navigation by menu driven commands. A bit like ye olde compuserve but via email. The beauty of this is that you can create disposable email addresses to read the news rather than relying on regular newsletters and finding the thought police at your local cybercafe. Would anyone use it?
