Signed email already gets mangled by the ietf mail servers (AFAICT), so what's one more bad idea in the mix? </advocate class=devil> I can't believe this topic is even being debated. Filtering has been a standard feature of every MUA I've used for over 10 years, including my current PDA and webmail systems. IMHO, the problems (listed by others) with this proposal grossly outweigh the complaints of a couple people who refuse to use a modern MUA or can't figure out how to configure said MUA to filter on the Sender header.
