I agree. It's time to take mail anonymity into the mainstream. There are plenty of legitimate reasons for anonymity, as the Caller ID debate shows. I think an enlightened approach that eschews a single, network-wide policy on the acceptability of anonymous messages in favor of leaving it up to the individual email recipient is something that we could sell to the Internet as a whole. We shouldn't have to treat this as a confrontational either-or issue when there's a third way out that balances everybody's interests. Phil
