Ooh, I like this proposal. We can also have noise-types for
exhortations to not print the email.
If one starts down that path, there is a real possibility for a
semantically-rich environment. For example, consider a noise
type for flaming, repetitive, responses to a topic on the IETF
list. One could also very efficiently reflect what I assume was
the intent of a recent observation on the list with
noise-type="hitler" :-(
I, personally, am looking forward to the extended discussion regarding
the proper procedures for deciding upon and registering new values of
the "noise-type" parameter. I believe that there are a number of
subtle conceptual and syntactic distinctions that need to be clearly
delineated, with due consideration for global cultural differences.
