Interesting proposal. A few non-technical questions: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Why the name "HillaryMail", and why does the logo contain a picture of Margaret |
| 11 |
Thatcher? ;-) |
| 12 |

More seriously, do you intend to write a reference implementation, or submit |
| 14 |
this as a more formal R.F.C. in the event of it attracting more attention? |
| 15 |
Furthermore, accusing every SMTP/POP/IMAP user to be an "idiot" may not be the |
| 16 |
best way of attaining support; I must admit, I have never seen that in an |
| 17 |
initial protocol proposal. |
| 18 |
|

I'm also slightly confused regarding the "goals" section. By "easy to |
| 20 |
install/use", do you mean "easy" for the people implementing the protocol, or |
| 21 |
the people making use of said implementations? "Traditional" SMTP mail clients |
| 22 |
have always been pretty straight-forward for me, although the difficulty |
| 23 |
involved in _implementing_ an M.T.A. is another story. I find this point rather |
| 24 |
equivocal. |
