Re: getting netscape to support the remailers
I started thinking about what it would take to get Netscape to support sending mail through the remailers, after having read the S/MIME specs which Netscape 2.0 is apparently going to support. Perhaps with enough browbeating Netscape 3.0 will support the remailers.
Netscape doesn't need to support remailers explicitly since Netscape will be supporting Java. I think a remailer client is within Java's capabilities... Anyone disagree? andrew
That was what I was thinking as well. I am confused by Netscape's java support though.. I haven't seen very many details. Is netscape going to only support applets or can you add stuff to the runtime as well? In order to use jcrypt one needs access to add stuff to the runtime I beleive.

As far I can tell from netscapes web pages and the java mailing lists there only way to add to the runtime is with DLL's. Jave is only being used for applets. And whatever they may say their scripting language is not Java. (An engineer at Sun that worked on getting Java to work for Netscape said that Sun had nothing to do with that half cooked scripting language). I for once can wait till HotJava is more stable. You can modify it at your hearths content. And learning Java is easy enough.

Depends on how Netscape impliments Java. Under HotJava it could concievably be done, although Security setting may restrict the browser from doing SMTP... Actually, I would suspect it might be possible to do using forms, using a mailto: form. Hmmmmmmmm....... Bob
