  I see no demand from spammers to standardize on a method of marking
'unsoclicited commercial email' (vs 'requested/business related
commercial email' or 'personal correspondence'?), but maybe such a
header or flag would aid governments to pass laws.  Anything past this I
find difficult to separate the political from the technical.
