It seems to me that receiving messages through newsgroups (sent through remailernet) and having them retrieved automatically by your newsreader might be a better method of defeating traffic analysis. Sounds like Vinge's
Nah. I'll take it back. Send encrypted through usenet, receive encrypted through usenet. Best of both, but very slow and only good for voluntary mail reception. You could also have an agent doing this scanning for msgs and posting unencrypted (or send mail to an unwitting spam victim). While it protects all but the last mailer almost completely, it's far slower than remailernet and only protects against traffic analysis.
