F2F is a well-established and helpful feature.  That some uses of receive-side 
authentication cannot cope with it is a limitation of the authentication-based 
service, not a flaw in F2F.

If authentication has to be shoehorned into email without disturbing any 
existing practices then we may as quit and spend our time on something else.
