Hi LL, In interest of off world security, I believe having two more fields automatically tacked on to all outgoing llEmail emails would be helpful: Object Owner and Object Creator. This would have a "locked" in way to authenticate that a message is originated from an authorized source. While we could ship the llGetOwner() and whatnot in the subject line, this can be spoofed. I would recommend that they be tacked onto one of the same lines as the current email, or perhaps filled in on the current fourth automatically prepended and blank line, so the end result would be something like: Object-Name: Media ComCommunication Region: Miramare (254720, 256512) Local-Position: (146, 205, 4  Owner: Alondria LeFay - Creator: Alondria LeFay [START REAL MESSAGE HERE] |

That would be too easy to spoof by sending email from outside SL. I think the only way to make email secure would be to write your own algorithm to generate a unique password for each email.

LL should bounce all forged messages coming in from the outside claiming to have come from the inside.
If it's not from an ip that resolves to an LL IP and it claims to be from lsl.secondlife.com bounce it.
