OK, so he wants to be unsubscribed. Will someone take care of this?
Truly sorry about this - I had no idea that was how that list
functioned i.e. that the incoming mails came from the members of
the list, not the .eitf.org.
I hope the list administrator picks up on my requests.
Of course it's not his fault. The folks who wrote MailKey are the
ones who should have known better.
However it does do a very nice job of illustrating the issues with
sender/domain authentication.
One possible way around it would be to add a new header detailing the
authentication, and have the MUA display that. But unfortunately
some mail programs out there only display headers they understand.
(Eudora has what I've always felt to be the right
approach--explicitly spelling out what is to be hidden).
Does anyone have any thoughts on how to reliably show a user that a
message has been authenticated, and from whom? Do we have to rewrite
the From: header? Keep in mind that some mail programs don't show
the address at all--just the comment.

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.
