- Why can't they tag their email in a machine-readable manner? Tacking on a single -reliable- header (X-InterNIC-Data: or some such) which contains machine-parsable information about the message would be a godsend for people trying to build tracking schemes like this.I personally think that this header thing is a good idea. But, NSI mgmt needs to hear it from you. If you think there is a real need for this or any other ideas, please contact the head of customer programs - Chuck Gomes (chuckg () Internic net).
I'm thinking maybe machine readbale bodies, using, I dunno... XML tagging with a standardized, but extensible, DTD; you know, kinda like MIME? :-) This is, after all, fundamentally EDI type stuff.
