Re: No subset for email

There are two problems with this.

First and most important: rendering email in a rectangular part of the 
screen isn't enough. It's also necessary to reply (including quoting) 
and to display excerpts of the message.

Second, what good would such security settings have? There isn't any 
trusted origin in email, so an attacker can just use foo@trusteddomaiin 
as sender and score an immediate goal. (I'm sure tools like 
Spamassassin could use the message's level to increase the spam score 
corresponding to the developers spam corpii, but that hardly seems like 
enough justification for such a feature.)
