In response to to call for more remailer traffic, I have been attempting to disseminate the instructions for remailer use among users not members of this list. One of the problems that has arisen is the retention of the origin lines placed at the bottom of the outgoing message by various gates & net whatnot (see bottom of this message for an example). Just before I lost access to this list a few months ago, I know that there was a discussion on how this problem could be solved with both the Cypherpunks & Penet remailers, but a conclusion had not been reached by the time I left. I did not notice a reference to this problem/solution in either the Penet or Cypherpunks remailer helpfiles (which seem to be both unchanged from earlier this year). If this problem has been solved, would some kind soul post the fix here for us? Thanks. M. ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12 -- M.

Yeah, the discussion centered on whether remailers should modify text (converting tabs, crlf, strip signatures, etc.) or not. I guess it would be "best" if the remailers just pass text on through, but then some people can't help extra stuff their mail software puts in. Right now, you can form your message and encrypt it with extropia's public key - that remailer will only forward text encrypted text, so your signature will get removed. /-----------------------------------\ | Karl L.
