        No matter how the authors may "promote" their methods, most
        people don't perceive that there's any great separation between
        anti-spam and anti-forgery techniques.  As far as they're
        concerned, all e-mail threats are basically the same.

        E-mail authentication's promise is that it will improve the
        overall state of the global e-mail infrastructure.  Chopping
        that into smaller bits may be a fun intellectual exercise, but
        it doesn't help explain what's going on to anyone outside of
        our fairly small technology-focused circles.
