How about using eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMMP, a.k.a. Jabber) instead? That one at least doesn't have all the horrible historical baggage that e-mail is lugging around...because e-mail is anything but simple.

Sounds reasonable, but XMPP seems harder to setup though... Or I'm over reacting?

Harder to setup - perhaps; but seems better suited to the task at hand. Using a simpler messaging protocol might be sufficient, but then Jabber is quite common, thus I'd expect support in libraries etc.
