How will people's behavior change as a result of spam? Will people learn how to write a message differently so that it will not get caught in a spam filter? Will people learn to use plus aliases? Will they learn to include special words in the message, such as the recipient's first and last name, so that the message will not be caught as a false positive? Will they come to understand that email is unreliable because of spam filters? If so, what will they do when a message is really important? How long should you wait to resend it if you don't get a response? Should you always respond to a message, so as to acknowledge you received it? If a message is really important, and you have more than one email address for a recipient, should you send it to all the addresses?
