TECH-OMISSION: -pra security considerations

2004-09-03 10:00:35

There should be a paragraph along the following lines in the Security
Considerations of the -pra draft:

A message's PRA will often be extracted from a header field that is not
normally displayed by existing mail user agent software. If the PRA is
used as part of a mechanism to authenticate the message's origin, the
message SHOULD NOT be displayed with an indication of its authenticity
(positive or negative) without the PRA header field also being
displayed.

NORTH CHANNEL: SOUTH OR SOUTHEAST 5 OR 6 VEERING SOUTHWEST 4 LATER. RAIN AND
DRIZZLE AT TIMES. MODERATE OR GOOD, OCCASIONALLY POOR. SLIGHT TO MODERATE, BUT
ROUGH AT TIMES THROUGH THE NORTH CHANNEL.
