Sorry for my last empty message, it's late & i confuse the "deliver" icon with the "mail format" icon (I was attempting to change the type from NeXTmail to plain text) I don't see why an anonymous remailer can't be set up in some country with an inet connection, but with little respect for idiocy originating from other countries & in particular the US. Allot of that issue is treaty dependent and that's probably what people should look at. I like what people are doing well enough, don't get me wrong. But the vulnerability exists via co-operative law enforcment arrangments & legal venue operations. That's the stuff of treaty's. I think probably an appropriate place could be found & arranged with some effort at this point. Hell there's GOT to be some countries out there that would have little respect for the antics of the Church 'o Bucks who'd be intrested in it. Stick the database on an encrypted partition, and arrange a a two party setup on the keys & administration and it'd make them a damn bit harder to retrieve anyhow... "I'd comply, but I don't have the keys, and the keyholder is refusing contact. And NO I don't know his 'True Name' and can't find him." That'd make things a tad rough, and isn't illigal anyplace that I'm aware of.
