In exchange for what are we giving up reliability now?
Usability.
Why would email be less usable if it implied some sort of
responsibility on the sender's side?
The transition in which we gave up sender responsibility is long past,
was quite protracted (roughly, I'd say, Sep 1993 through Oct 1998), and
was largely unrecognized at the time (and thus the question of benefits
gained in return did not arise).
Would you expand a little more on that, please? I don't follow it.
