I would like to suggest that a remailer could eliminate nearly all it's problems by only sending out encrypted mails - that is, if after removing the encryption that was applied using it's own private key, it finds that the result is plaintext, it simply drops the message.
And just exactly what algorithm is that you're using to determine crypt-v-plaintext?
Why not just read the first 20 bytes of the body? If 90% or more aren't printable ASCII assume the message is encrypted.
