I again reiterate my opinion -- an opinion which I believe is broadly 
shared in the infosec community -- that email and email based processes 
should never be presented to users as trustworthy as to confidentiality or 
as to integrity, with the possible exception of some entirely 
intra-organization endorsed mechanisms.

The mere normalization of according trust in a communication indexed upon 
an email address is the very kind of implicit experiential training that 
leads to the category of attacks known as business email compromise.

I believe that every attempt to make incremental but non-universal 
improvements to such schemes is merely training users toward bad practice.
