I think this actually highlights another reason why a web interface would be useful, since we could give detailed information on what inbound & outbound contacts were set up, which we'd got a CTS from, how many failed & successful messages there had been to each, how many messages we'd received from them, the time of the last contact we had with them and so forth. Users could then include information like and give useful bug reports, and so we could find out if there there issues with Freemail or even if Freenet is sometimes not managing to get single-intended-recipient keys across the network. We could also let users confirm contacts before polling their SSKs for messages, which would be an alternative to starting a CAPTCHA war.
