PGP (or the MSFT-specific equivalent) handles this. [0] I know that people love to pile hate on the UX of PGP, but Engimail has worked perfectly fine for me for ages.
[0] Yes, I know that PGP doesn't -and can't- encrypt addressing information. We could address a big chunk of that by creating informal groups of sysadmins who configure their email servers to only speak over TLS-encrypted channels to other servers and clients.
- jimktrains2 11y agoYes, but I can't even get technical friends to use PGP:-\ I'm proposing it be tied more tightly into the protocol. Some of which is so that there is infrastructure to "vouch" for a sender address (for a period of time) so that they can send you things that would bypass spam checks. (Think password resets, or account notices from a bank).
