> 4. Ban antivirus etc software signatures - misleading statements saying "the message has been checked by an antivirus".

Many of those "antivirus companies" are selling usage data that they obtain via pixel tracking. Explaining this to someone who uses such "antivirus" is like explaining the difference between the web and the internet, those users don't want to understand the difference.

How to implement the changes I listed is a separate question. A sufficiently influential organisation (like Google, Apple or a consortium of internet service providers) interested to do this could succeed easily.
