All true, but if it had yielded useful results, there might have been encouragement to change that. Then, suddenly, there would be common ground from which to do future work such as this. It wouldn't be hard to put a draft together that described the trivial things like Subject field tagging and "two dashes at the end mark the start of a signature', and maybe a couple of popular and mostly harmless mutations the popular list servers do. I might know someone who could help with such a publication. (I can hear Dave and Pete, and perhaps Jim, chortling at my altruism...) -MSK _______________________________________________ dmarc mailing list dmarc@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dmarc
