So going back to your original thought, how does knowing that prior
consent exist help us in designing automated email signatures system?
The question is, are we designing an email signature system, or is that merely
a mechanism to achieve an end?
I think Phillip is suggesting the latter, whereas most people on this list seem
hung up with the former.
Personally, I think we want to end up with handles and attributes that let us
decide email disposition. Authenticated domains are clearly an important
attribute but provable subscription to a list could easily be more valuable
than the outcome of an authentication process.
