<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">@Elad – noting the comments, I think I do agree that email problems / solutions might be better submitted as an RFC (</span><a href="https://www.ietf.org/standards/rfcs/"><span style="color:windowtext">https://www.ietf.org/standards/rfcs/</span></a>)
.. Ripe is a LIR mainly tasked with administering IP number resources. … At the same time, I do love your obvious passion for addressing problems and looking freshly at possible solutions. Regarding the upcoming election – I have just had a look at the page
with Candidate Biographies to judge a little how I might vote – at <a href="https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2020/candidate-biographies">
https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/gm/meetings/may-2020/candidate-biographies</a> .. and I can’t see you there, so would suggest please to submit / add a biography if this is not already in the works (and I hope all candidates do too).

<p>Hi Michael, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>this is not about any technical solution. This is Elad trying to position himself for the upcoming election.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>This is an election campaign. Nothing more.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">In this specific case you want to outsource the servers job of filtering SPAM out competely to the client. This is not how this was designed. You are thinking that email clients always have a UI
or at least some bigger code behind it that is able to do a lot of stuff. There exist email clients in the world that have only <100 lines of code and are only text based (as email is from the ground up).
