In that point I agree with Hector: The problems of braindead

Except that any solution that starts out with upgrade every MUA in the world

The reality is that from an end user perspective 2822.From is the only game in
town.
Scott --
This seems to assume that the only consumer of SSP information would be
an MUA.
That's not a very good assumption -- incoming filters could make use of
the information
too. From that standpoint, other inputs beside the From address might be
interesting too.
That said, after thinking about this I don't find those arguments
compelling enough to
get wrapped around the axle. Also: given that the protocol needs to be
extensible,
we can be cautious and defer things that we're not very sure about their
utility to some
time in the future when the benefits are more clear. This seems to be
one of those
things.
