Someone asked me about this feature some years ago when social media was
becoming popular and I suggested simply adding a disposition to Message
Disposition Notification (RFC 8098, STD 85). The machinery is already in
some systems, MDNs give you the ability to easily get back to the source
message through Message-ID, and the adornment ("Joe Smith liked this
message" or "��" or whatever) could then be added to the display of
the original message, etc. No new mechanism needed and I think somewhat
quicker deployment. It would probably just take an Informational
document with a pointer to STD 85.
That sounds right. I'd add a Reaction: extension-field to the MDN with
the contents being a URL, typically a data: URL. It might be something like
this for a single emoji:
Reaction: data:text/plain,%f0%9f%92%a9
But the kewl kids react with animated images, e.g.
Reaction: data:image/png;base64, ... encoded dancing baby here ...
or a remote reference to an image
