But spammers would just send "pokes" as well. The system would have nothing to go on besides the reputation of the sender when a poke is initiated, so this is no different then just sending encrypted text to begin with.
- skybrian 12y agoIt can't just be a poke because why would you reply to someone you don't know? The email has to be sufficiently interesting to convince you to reply, while not containing any confidential information.
- thefreeman 12y agoBecause of my original point. That because it is required to start every email conversation, no one will actually put anything in it, or certainly much less context then you get currently. Which just makes spam prevention and detection harder meaning you will have to wade through more attempts which get through. The person I replied to said that "anything that isn't a poke would be spam". Do you really think spammers are that stupid?
