This is a first draft and feedback is of course welcomed. I felt that rather than spinning our wheels on this list, we should have something concrete up to discuss.<br>

I was going to write a long list of feedback, but after realizing that some of it was just typo-level (grammar, mostly), I decided to just go ahead and make those changes directly. The changelog link is here:<br>

<div>I don't think we need to call out digital signatures under the Attachment section. I specifically changed that section to discourage attachment (especially larger files). I believe this covers the case of digital signatures, and so doesn't need to be called out specifically.</div>

I do want to note, since I don't see a way to readily incorporate anything about this into the document (I'm trying to keep these tweaks very minor), that the bounce report promise could be abused: I report someone, they get unsubscribed, immediately? <br>

I did make one change that I consider major: the section on "unsubscribed with extreme prejudice. Not to mention haste." ... I switched to "justice". If anyone has an idea for better words here than "justice" (it's fine for what it *should be*, but something less subjective would be nice.)<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I think "justice" is overselling what people should expect on this list. We're not talking about a civil court system — it's just a mailing list. I hope that we can expect adult behavior on this list for the most part — and if you're going to be a jerk, you can expect to be banned or expelled. I know of few other lists that wouldn't dispatch similar consequences to such behavior — that have survived.</div>
