1. Receive an email which is utterly incomprehensible, for whatever reason.
2. Click "Mark as Incomprehensible".
3. Click "OK" when asked "Are you sure?"
4. Sender gets an "official" notification from "system administrator" or "Mail Marshal" etc. saying "Your message was undeliverable due to
being incomprehensible," and suggesting various possible causes.
5. Recipient can relax and await a revised version, hopefully with sentence breaks this time.
One like this, but for the pedants.

Ooh, ooh! One like this, but for the pedants! I'll post it soon! |

reminds me of "I am returning this otherwise good typing paper to you because someone has printed gibberish all over it and put your name at the top."
I wonder sometimes why spam programs don't just perfectly simulate a sys admin bounce like this. |
|
| |
This idea simulates intransigent methods of communication via other types of meme system. |
|
| |
Good idea, although I would like the button to be marked "Don't send me this shite". Of course, the bounced message wouldn't bear this phrase - it would be much more official-sounding. |
|
| |
Bake it! It's a candidate for a plugin for popular email readers. +1 |

I find some irony in the fact that the link to "Pedant Email Bouncing Tool" doesn't work because [m_AI_com] forgot to capitalize "Pedant". |
|
| |
Did I email you something, [Texticle]? |
|
| |
Bouncing spam email is a stupid idea - then they know that your email address is 'live'. |
|
| |
Granted, but this was aimed at non-spam emails. |
|
| |
[hippo] not if the bounce message
contains "PERM_DELIVERY_FAILURE", a
message recieved when an address is
bad |
|
| |
Of course, you would want the
PERM_DELIVERY_FAILURE to be sent
from an address other than yours (like
mailerdaemon@domain.com, or
noreply@domain.com) for the reason
you mention. |
|
| |
Because of this, you would have to have
the ISP's mail server send permanent
delivery failure messages in reply to any
spam recieved, from the system's
address. |

I think I'll put this in GMail's suggestion
box |

"Message undeliverable: Too many clip art angels and bunnies" |
