Typical Choate, missing the point.
Merry Christmas to you too.
A remailer simply gets sent a message, applies it's decryption key,
The same key it shares with everyone else (all users to anon_1 use the same key - bad!!! idea).
You know nothing about encryption.
Allows you to build up a big library of plain-cypher pairs, and if you send it to yourself you can attack their private key as well.
No you cannot.
The sender having to know all the steps is a major threat to the standard remailer model.
You know nothing about remailers. --digsig James A. Donald 6YeGpsZR+nOTh/cGwvITnSR3TdzclVpR0+pr3YYQdkG 8RSVVHohMThQae7dkZnrZsELFbCgTRs3+Y/6UCT+ 4dY/aAa7Ke/htbQbZmQO+evUz7HxXS5CCHghCZhXn
