What bothers me is how much of this junk eats bandwidth up, and would like

Hi Frank,

Simple: Encrypted email with public keys, or private keys to verify
sender/recipient. The technology has been available for years (PGP),
and the RSA algorithms are public domain now (and have been for a
couple of years). It would kill the industry overnight just like the
"don't call" list instituted last year. The problem is inertia, and
Micro$oft wanting to do it their way (as if they had a clue about
network security).
