+Other proposals to improve email
+=============================================================================
+
+There have been a very large number of proposals to improve email over
+the years. This is an incomplete list of them.
+
+[@djbim2000} proposed "Internet Mail 2000" where the central idea is
+that the sender stores the email, not the recipient. I'm not sure how
+this would solve the spam problem. [@siebenmann2020] has an excellent
+critique of the proposal.
