| >> "There are many ways to expand this technology so that it becomes far more complex to defeat." There are not that many ways, unless you're willing to go the whole hog and install a rootkit on the recipients machine before he's allowed to view a mail. Obviously that would be bad. Like any DRM scheme the ultimate consequence ends at a bad place. >> "companies and government organizations, where clear policies and penalties already provide effective deterrents. This service would just supplement these policy-instruments with additional automated protection, auditing and watermarking" If you're forced to deal with security restricted information dissemination, then email is pretty much the wrong kind of tool. >> "Answering by quoting email works great, if you're alright with quoting everything" That kinda defeats the purpose of quoting mostly. >> "Accessibility vs data protection tradeoffs. These are fine:" Sure, they're fine for you. You're not disabled. >> "NOFWD keeps an archive of the messages you send through it (which you can choose to delete or disable if you wish.) You can search this." I use my email clients search box to search emails in my inbox, I think pretty much everybody does. This also doesn't cover the UX issues of a large image blob that renders unreadable on devices with other screen sizes than the desktop average. |
