If such a mechanism were put in place, it would be inevitable that soon EVERY
spam would bear the marks of "this is a government-mandated legal document
which MUST be delivered".
From the UK, I regularly receive legal notices, trial summaries, updates from
various government offices... at an account that I established at Yahoo! in
1986 and have never used to communicate with foreign governments.
Even if some legal authority somewhere declares that email is required to be a
completely reliable communication channel with legally mandated delivery
requirements, email will be unchanged: it is a medium in which your message
may be delivered, unless it isn't, in which case it won't be.
