What we need to do, is to arrange a wide-spread anonymous mail system on the internet, which is accepted as unchangeable on a practical basis, where no reply addresses, and no indication of sender is given, and it accepted as a given that the sender can not be traced.
Hmm, could a NYM account maybe serve as entry and exit point for a remailer? That would - - have the advantage, that the remailer, the domain and the operator aren't even known ("Anonymity for anonymous remailers" - my former proposal of usage of "shared account" remailers becomes an actual possibility here) and therefore shut-downs are unlikely. With the exception of the NYM-account, which is trivial to replace. - - make traffic analysis even harder, for alone by the reply block chain an incoming and outgoing message would "disappear" in other traffic, not to mention, that the NYM account remailer (and the attached reply block chain) could be only one adress in an even longer chain of remailers. - - encrypt even plain-text messages at least on their way through the reply block chain conventionally, thereby adding to resistance to traffic analysis. - - even out the message load of the available remailers by using preferrably the remailers with only little traffic for the reply block chain, yet again helping against traffic analysis of the general remailer network.
