 This does not mean you can not recive an email from an "unknown" party,
 but it does mean that I should be able to read a valid
 Email header that is not lying to me.

There are human rights workers around the world that have their lives literally depending upon being able to send anonymous e-mail. You will literally be responsible for the murder of tens, hundreds, thousands, maybe millions of people, if you do not account for this issue.

Regardless of whatever else we may do, we must find a way to preserve the ability to send e-mail anonymously for the people who need this feature. Otherwise, we may never find out about SARS II, or the next Tutsi-Hutu massacre until it is too late.
