Jeff, this is really interesting. Thanks for sharing. This answers a
lingering question for me as far as what practical applications there can
be for ARC in a context other than a mailing list.

Am I getting this right -- the way this would work is that another email
platform would sign/"seal" a current state of the message authentication
into the ARC header and then Microsoft, if it trusts that ARC signer, reads
the ARC results to pass messages that would have perhaps otherwise failed
authentication checks due to forwarding etc. past that point?

Regards,
Al Iverson
