The problem became apparent to me when I sent pseudonymous mail to a prominent person on this list; his reply exposed his pseudonymous id at anon.penet.fi, surely without his knowledge.
I think this would be fixed by the "X-Anon-Anonymize: no" (or whatever) hack. But for reasons I have outlined in the earlier round of discussions, it can't be the default. Comments?
If it's not the default behavior, then it will be a recurring problem.
There has been a lot of discussion about this, and I'm afraid it's too late to change the *default* behavior now...
Why? It seems to me the X-Anon-Password header was a pretty major change, yet you made that change to preserve people's pseudonymous identities. The instant challenge is just as grave, don't you think?
P.S. In case I forgot to announce it, as you could see from the message I'm replying to, PGP stuff doesn't get stripped at anon.penet.fi anymore.....
Great stuff. Thanks.
