What Murray says makes sense. I don’t see the value of going forward with this 
approach given the negative impacts involved.

Thanks, I see. That means the recipient is bound to the message and an attacker

not like the consequences when this extension will go into production.


You may not need to worry about that.  We've reached a point where I think we 
can legitimately say, "We took a serious look, and this is the best we could 
come up with.  It has some pretty ugly side effects.  Are you sure you can't 
just stop signing spam?"  And absent a compelling answer to that question, 
there's no need to roll this out even as an experiment.
