Billy's Junk Mail

It would work though. Charge 1 cent per email and suddenly spammers can't make a profit.

WMD:
Yeah, but what about the free webmail services?  :(

Oh come on.  Yes let's all
1)  pay a tax to Bill Gates to get rid of spam
2)  encumber the email protocol with patented, proprietary MS crap

just to get rid of spam.  Riiiiight.

Sounds alot like the "let's sacrifice freedom for security but end up with neither."

Don't be fooled.  This is just one more example of MS trying going for user lock-in and trying to make the information super highway into a toll road.

I said that if e-mails were 1 cent spam would stop. I didn't say a thing about Microsoft of Billy.
