I just thought I'd throw this out there, as I've quickly skimmed the
archives and haven't seen any discussion of this yet:
Would anyone consider it worthwhile for this group to put some focus
on making existing email content analysis/filter tools (in particular
anti-spam software) more interoperable?
I suggest a useful step in that direction to be defining a standard
for how they should utilize mail headers to announce the results of
their analysis. Right now it seems that every program uses a different
set of made up X-Headers in a different and incompatible way. (Well,
except for ours, which uses "Comments:" headers in a different and
incompatible way.)
This is very limited in scope relative to the "big picture" issues
this group seems to be chartered to discuss, but I think it would be
very helpful to improve interoperability, effectiveness, and ease of
engineering solutions in the near term.

"What's the Specialist?" Samantha says.
"The Specialist wears a hat," says the babysitter. "The hat makes noises."
She doesn't say anything else.
