I thought we would be dropping this as out of scope, not redundant.

I agree: the semantics of "I send no mail" and "I sign everything"
and then send no mail are not the same. The former is a much stronger
statement.

What mechanism is there for 'never send mail today'?

Issue 1365 (Subject: SSP: typos) includes this brief comment from
Frank:

5.3 (2): IIRC we've identified "never send mail" as a
special case of
"strict", and then just not sending mail, let alone signing it. IMO you can delete this point.
Based on the notes we seem the WG seems to be favoring dropping the "never send mail" indication because it's redundant, but we never seem to have gotten final consensus.

It makes sense to me. Does anyone want to argue that it needs to stay? (Foolish me, I meant to say "Who wants to argue...".)
