This is a good point. Since crypto is being used to enforce access
rights, read permissions can be wide open, as can be file creation (but
not modify, or delete). Only the intended recipient would be able to
read the message, anyway.

So, maybe an HTTP-based solution would work, after all... it could be as
simple as having a script on the server, which would allow file upload
according to the permissions in the previous paragraph.
