I can imagine it, but none exist. This is mostly because the From: field is supplied by the mailer and satisfies that requirement, whereas requiring things in teh body of the mail message goes against the grain of how the systems are used. remailers: They require operators of remailers to be sympathetic with the ends of the users of remailers. This obviously does not Are there other reasons to use a remailer besides anonymity? I can't think of any, so that solves the sympathy problem. If a remailer operator conspires to reveal who you are that's a different issue, and is solved (or reduced a lot) by using a chain of remailers. Then *all* of the remailers have to be compromised to reveal that connection from source to destination. dean
