I fear you are being optimistic. Having spent much more time than I
would like doing email customer support, I tend to think that you'll
get two major categories of responses.
1. Scared by challenge, doesn't reply to any.
2. Finally figured out that challenges are okay, replies to all.
I can't offer concrete evidence for that.
Consider the ActiveX warnings about unsigned code. How effective have
they been at deterring the spread of web-installed spyware?
