OK, so now we have a nice new word "Global". Maybe it could now be used  
elsewhere.

For example, we could choose to name the whole package we are discussing,  
so that the new type of email will become known as "global email". Use  
"GLOBAL" as the name of the extension in EHLO. And so on. It is certainly  
the sort of word that the community would pick up and run with.
