It then appends its own disclaimer block before sending the message to the hop (remailer or final destination). A bit annoying, yes, but I think this would go a long way towards improving public relations. I don't see how it compromises security. Neither do I. I think it should use something like a line of dashes, or maybe a C comment, though, rather than $$, to make it look 'prettier' for the eventual recipient, and clarify that it's not part of the original message. What's wrong with this scheme? Other than the fact that all remailers would have to change their software at the exact same moment. :-) This is not true, of course. Implement it in two stages. First recognise and strip the disclaimer, but don't prepend one, then, when all remailers are doing this, start prepending information. -- Paul Foley <mycroft@actrix.gen.nz> --- PGPmail preferred PGP key ID 0x1CA3386D available from keyservers fingerprint = 4A 76 83 D8 99 BC ED 33 C5 02 81 C9 BF 7A 91 E8 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I must have slipped a disk -- my pack hurts
