This is *one* of the things that this proposal can help with. Note: in the context of Autocrypt, this could help with "autocrypt gossip"; I don't foresee it replacing autocrypt headers. > 2) limited usefulness in practice due to > brittle reliability and non-existent network effect. I agree that they *currently* have limited usefulness. But, if companies started to actually sign their outgoing mail, this could help combat phishing. I think we should consider both the future's potential and today's limitations, and not be driven be either exclusively.
