I would go further. I think we should have a standard mechanism
(akin to mailto:, but probably using a new scheme name) specifically
for whitelisting. If your email client supports whitelisting, it
should support a url that you can click on to automatically whitelist
an address. (And of course, it had better confirm this with the
user, or the spammers will just embed it in an image tag.) Then web
sites can easily provide the user with a way to whitelist the
necessary address or addresses.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
