Interesting proposal. A few non-technical questions: Why the name "HillaryMail", and why does the logo contain a picture of Margaret Thatcher? ;-) More seriously, do you intend to write a reference implementation, or submit this as a more formal R.F.C. in the event of it attracting more attention? Furthermore, accusing every SMTP/POP/IMAP user to be an "idiot" may not be the best way of attaining support; I must admit, I have never seen that in an initial protocol proposal. I'm also slightly confused regarding the "goals" section. By "easy to install/use", do you mean "easy" for the people implementing the protocol, or the people making use of said implementations? "Traditional" SMTP mail clients have always been pretty straight-forward for me, although the difficulty involved in _implementing_ an M.T.A. is another story. I find this point rather equivocal. -- Ashley Dixon suugaku.co.uk 2A9A 4117 DA96 D18A 8A7B B0D2 A30E BF25 F290 A8AA
