What you are saying, put into more provocative words: email world be safer now if, from the beginning, every email client had a big, friendly button "send from different address". In the years of earthly mass adaption it would have been colloquially called "the Bill Gates button". It certainly would not be hard to explain the value of signatures in that timeline.
- mehrdadn 8y agoWell I don't know if it would be safer per se... I imagine you'd probably want some USPIS enforcement for that to happen, otherwise it might end up like phone calls (given it seems people understand caller IDs are spoofable and yet it's as big a problem now as it's ever been). But yes, it could've made it potentially easier to explain.
