Another creator here. We have no specific use cases, but the ideas floating around my head: 1) Leaking controversial conversations, whistleblowing, or simply sharing interesting emails. 2) Being one of the fastest ways to publish, could be a new blogging platform, especially for the older generation who is more comfortable with email. 3) Transparency for businesses/government through public archiving.
I would love to hear other ideas.

Hmmm if this is a goal you should support encryption.
Perhaps provide a public key and have an auto decryption mechanism with your private key.

Thanks. The idea was simply - what if you could publish a page by sending an email, but several use cases have come to mind since:
- The quickest way to create a simple web page. - Blogging without having to create an account. - Organisational email transparency - either within organisations, or publicly. - Archiving email threads. - Sharing long threads of correspondence without adding to the thread further.
