I think you'd be better off with an open standard, rich, dynamic html that runs wherever the user is. Then put all the sophistication in whitelisting senders. We also need to bolt-in secured messaging so that nobody except the people corresponding have any idea what's in the message.
The way it's set up now, with hundreds of vendors implementing different control protocols and tens of thousands of spammers trying to break in? I don't see anybody being happy -- some spammers get in anyway, and email users have different experiences for the same dang net service. Admins want to pull their hair out. It really is a miracle things work as well as they do.
If we can't get email working right? It doesn't portend for a bright future for the rest of internet traffic.
