I started thinking about what it would take to get Netscape to support sending mail through the remailers, after having read the S/MIME specs which Netscape 2.0 is apparently going to support. Perhaps with enough browbeating Netscape 3.0 will support the remailers. I think that in order to get netscape to support the remailers the remailers will have to: A) Support S/MIME B) Have a documented protocol, MIME-related Did Ray Cromwell do some work towards MIMEifiying the remailers? My impression of his work back when he posted was that it trusted the remailers too much, but perhaps my memory is flawed-- in any case his work may be helpful towards developing a remailer standard, which could then help get support incorporated into MIME agents. I will begin work on a preliminary specification, and post my results. I figure MIME remailers would allow for: 1) Transparent reply-blocks Someone could have a multipart mime message where one of the parts is Content-Type: reply-block and the MUA would see that and understand to send replies with that reply block to the remailers. I will be posting more as I work out the details. I welcome comments, suggestions, etc., as I figure that my initial specification will require much improvement. -- sameer Voice: 510-601-9777 Community ConneXion FAX: 510-601-9734 An Internet Privacy Provider Dialin: 510-658-6376 http://www.c2.org (or login as "guest") sameer@c2.org
