 To avoid spamming people accidentally, we only answer emails that are sent
 from email services that support <a href="http://www.dkim.org/">DKIM</a>,
-which is an email feature that lets us verify that the sender in the
-"From" line is actually the one who sent the mail. If we get an email from
-a service that doesn't use DKIM, we'll send a short note and then ignore
-the email address for the next day or so.
