[Asrg] actual possible improvements, was Email Postage

[Franck Martin]

Without forgetting what unclever things someone could do with sender identities. But I guess we are here to provide tools and leave each country the choice of using these tools for the pursuit of freedom or totalitarianism.

Sounds good to me. 

I still think there's some interesting research to be done about what 
you'd do with reliable sender identities. It's easy enough to 
whitelist mail from people you already know, but is there anything 
clever one might do with an identity that you can trust to be stable 
but you know nothing else about?
