Well, if the group is going to consider the question of consent,
then it has to ask "consent to what" and define what mail needs to
even be concerned about the consent of the recipient.
For example, I don't need your consent to send you a person to person
mail, certainly not in advance. If you want to block the mail of
particular parties sending you person to person mail, that's
best done entirely within your own mail tools since, unless they
are mailing you megabyte images, there are no global concerns.
Nor would we want to have all users of existing mailers need to get
new ones which understand consent protocols etc. unless they are
using them for bulk mail which is unsolicited/from strangers/whatever.
Or is it the hope of this group to research new protocols that would
require all people sending mail to have new tools?
