Linux may be enough of a cult that developers will put up with having to 
use a mail account different from the one they use for everything else, 
but as I've said a couple of times already, I don't think the IETF can 
stand the blood loss.

There are some workarounds, maybe ARC, maybe message wrapping, maybe some 
kind of From: munging.  We're looking at them and scratching our heads.

R's,
John
