I'll be presumptuous and speak on behalf of the DKIM operations
community, rather than just myself:

Cool! Thanks.

+1 to that!

-100

The minor point is that e-mails have just got yet bigger.  They are now 100-150%
bigger than when first I started following the IETF and it is not that people
have more to say, but that the junk at the front has expanded out of all
recognition.  This costs, transmission time, processing storage etc.  The
transmission time is significant (I imagine) because of POP3 which seems to take
2n+ messages, n round trips, before starting to download anything out of n
e-mails.

But more importantly we have abolished the end-to-end principle.  If I am going
to benefit from improved security on e-mail, I want to from the originator to
me, not some half-way house giving a spurious impression of accuracy.

Personally, I like it when we eat our own dog food ;)
