I believe it is legislation to eliminate "spam" and make it a crime to broadcast it. Kind of like what's going on with the "no call" list but I'm not sure that you'll even have to sign up for this.

OK, i watched the news at 11. The law will prevent them from using misleading subject lines and false email names and addresses.

Yea. Ain't that a hoot ?!?!?!

That is like making a law against eating REAL chocolate ice cream on Wednesdays. Just about as effective and enforcable, too.

I propose that legitimate businesses would actually benefit from it. If it was enforceable which it won't be in the huge vast majority of cases.
