Not to mention that a fair amount of the technical people his message is
trying to reach, are probably *not* using IE6 on windows. So while
Mozilla may be <1-4% marketshare in general, I'd suspect that
non-IE/windows browsers are probably a much higher marketshare within
the userbase on this list.
However sounds like to me the problem is your attitude.
Don't take it personally that people are attacking SenderKeys. A lot of
people on this list have spent A LOT of time working for, and thinking
about, ways to re-invent email to prevent forgeries, and
reduce/eliminate SPAM (not necessarily in the same product).
You're proposing another system, so you just need to ride out the flak
when people question your motives, or your proposed features, or flaws,
or whatever, and participate in the discussion, so we can all decide on
one system.
Otherwise you're going to end up like those god-awful mail gateways that
auto-respond with a "this user uses <name of spam gateway>. To prove
that you're really sending them email, go to <url>this</url> web page
and follow the instructions to have your mail delivered".
I'm not going to read anything from an autoresponder that's going to
make me take ANY steps to get my mail delivered. When someone realizes
that they haven't gotten email from me, and they were expecting it,
they'll call me, and I'll say get rid of your auto-responding crap, and
accept my mail, or whitelist me. I'm not installing anything.
My MUA is fine as it is.
