Not that you are wrong, but essentially mixmaster routing of email is essentially oninon routing at the mail protocol level (as opposed to at the IP level).
I think it makes perfect sense to call it "onion routing of email" or something along those lines -- we generally do talk about "routing emails" (as in from email program to local smtp server, from local smtp server via an ISP smtp server, then lookup via DNS for MX record, on to the gateway smtp server, and so on to the final destination(s)).
[ed: Not to mention one thing probably stays the same: who runs the best, free onion routers/gateways and mixmaster servers? Intelligence agencies...
