How "anonymous" (to what degree) are email messages sent through the various remailers (Mixmaster, EFGA, ml.org, etc)?
Everyone who uses a remailer is perfectly anonymous, and thus safe from having their identity discovered. Remailers are now so advanced that it is virtually impossible for anyone to discover the user's true identity. Also, the Law Agency Freedom Foundation has verified that no law enforcement agencies are running remailers, out of respect for the citizen's right to anonymity.
And does anyone know of any studies being done in determining whether or not content-based analysis - diction and language - is a reliable way to determine identity?
This is patently ridiculous. CypherPunks have long tried to figure out, by use of, as you said, these means, to ferret out schills, yes, schills, on the list. In totoal, to date, they have been unable to successfully do so. ? the Platypus say heyed to me joust the otter day that hee...hee warts able two foal Manny peephole awn the CyperPukes lips width his alanon e-mouse pastes.
