It's already happening. Both the IETF and a new industry group are working
on it. See <http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/internet/03/17/halting.spam.ap/> & 
<http://www.internetwk.com/breakingNews/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=7800092>

To bring this back on topic: in a thread a week or two ago, someone
suggested volunteering some work for a non-profit as a way to add resume
bullets in between jobs. This sounds like a great idea to me. There are
plenty of non-profits out there that need tech-writer help, but my
personal choice for anyone interested in both saving email and
resume-padding (sorry, but they can't pay anything) can be found at
<http://www.spamcon.org/about/volunteer.shtml>.
