Re: [Asrg] 6. URL "scheme" for whitelisting

Standard way to report things is good. URLs are good, but they are added 
for specific protocols, so do you have a new protocol in mind for 
whitelisting?

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.
