A Rust client for [Smol Mail](https://code.randogoth.com/randogoth/smolmail): a minimalist, end-to-end encrypted mail protocol over a Noise-secured TCP connection. `fumi` derives an identity from one 32-byte master secret, seals and opens mail, and talks to a mailbox; it is the counterpart to [bunshin](https://code.randogoth.com/randogoth/bunshin), the server.
Both carriers are implemented: the TCP carrier (SPEC.md 1.1) and the Reticulum carrier of RNS.md (1.2), the latter behind the `rns` cargo feature (`nix build .#rns`). `fumi` interoperates in both directions with the reference stack — `smolmail.py`/`smolmaild.py` over TCP and `smolmail_rns.py`/`smolmaild_rns.py` over Reticulum — and with `bunshin` over both carriers, including the cross-transport case upstream section 15 promises: send over TCP, fetch over the mesh, one mailbox.
On the mesh the destination hash is the pin (RNS.md 13.4): there is no `trust`, no static key, and a client creates no Reticulum identity (13.8). The `--rns-udp-forward` target is effectively required for a client, which speaks first; it should point at an `rnsd` or at the server's UDP interface. Requests carry an explicit 30-second timeout (13.5), links are torn down when a session ends (13.10), and a resend is safe because ids are derived.
Mail is stored sealed and opened on demand; there is no plaintext at rest. A first contact is learned by trust on first use and marked unverified when the server's key was not pinned; a key change is accepted only when a signed rotation chain leads from the key held to the one offered, and is surfaced rather than applied silently.
`bunshin` and the reference clients make a complete test rig: register against a local server, exchange mail in both directions, then rotate and fetch the mail that the superseded key still receives.
