1. Anonymous submissions
People who want to contact you will only need to fill in a captcha to send you an email. This is easier and also means you can use Quilla for anonymous tips. Before, people had to log in with their Google account to email you. Now that's optional and off by default.
2. Anonymous email relaying
Similar to how cragislist will proxy email, every Quilla short-link now acts as an anonymous email address. For example, I have a short-link http://a.quil.la/FVZ3PMZC which can also be contacted by mailing FVZ3PMZC [at] quil-la.appspotmail [dot] com. Your replies will be sent to Quilla, not the other person, and it will anonymize your email and forward it on. Just be careful not to put your signature in the message body.
Here's an example of what a relayed reply looks like at the SMTP level. My actual email address is never exposed here. But please bang on this to make sure it's actually private!
