From: Chris Claborne <claborne@ccgate.sandiegoca.NCR.COM> Could we send our postings to the mailer in encrypted format? That is... I would encrypt the message with the public key for the mailer, the mailer would decrypt and re-post to the clear-text mailer and to the PGP group. You can already do this, in a way. Just post to the list using one of the existing encrypted remailers like the one at extropia (or the one at portal, for that matter). You need to put: :: Request-Remailing-To: cypherpunks@toad.com Subject: <your subject here> And a blank line at the top of your message, encrypt the whole thing with the public key of the remailer, and add: :: Encrypted: PGP and a blank line to the PGP file just before the "-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----" line. There are some scripts on the cypherpunks ftp site (soda.berkeley.edu, /pub/cypherpunks/remailer) to automate this process. The one disadvantage with this approach is that the source of the message (namely, you) gets stripped off. We might want to think about changing our remailers to have a non-anonymous remailing command as well as an anonymous one. This way you could have "local" privacy from any sysop who snoops on your mail going out, while still making it easy for people to reply to you. Hal

There should be a way to do this already. Just as :: does header pasting when a mailer receives a message, so should ## paste headers when a mailer sends a message. Then you just paste in a Reply-To: header field when the message leaves the last remailer. This technique is also useful for Usenet posting, for things like Organization:, etc. Eric
