Hello,

I like to comment the questions (open issues section)

        1. Do we need to handle text/html or multipart/alternative in email
           challenge?  Simplicity suggests "no".

I would vote for text/plain, but given the messages users send these days
I expect many do not even know there is something other then text/html
That may be a problem...

        2.  Do we need a proof that ACME client can submit email on behalf of
            the user, not just read the challenge using IMAP?

Receiving a message is relevant if the certificates public key is used for 
encryption
A submitted email mean the certificated private key is used for signing.
Maybe that view help to answer the question (which I currently cannot :-/)

Andreas
