This is good, but I see problems. See injections.

Subject: [Asrg] Proposal ....

I recently made a proposal over at slashdot which seemed to garner a fair
amount of support.

It is this:

When the mail client sends a message, it only goes as far as their local
mail server.  The local mail server stores the body of the
message and then
sends the header on to the recipient with a ID through which the body may
be picked up.

When the header arrives at the destination, the client on the other side
downloads the body of the message from the specified host.

Imagine the server you are picking up from isn't honest. It's a spammers
server.
They now know the email they sent to was valid. Congrats, you've just
verified your email, and that is worth double on the spam market.
