Remailers and "##"
I know there's some kind of a syntax you can use involving "##", with some of the remailers, and the remailer will insert a header line into the message. But I'm having trouble figuring out what syntax this is. Can anyone help me out?

most remailers will not let you set the From: line this way. could one of the remailer operators tell us why? it doesn't make sense to me. randy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6 iQCVAwUBLuX/Nc1Uod4Abd1NAQGuSgQAnZ9CtNpH0djHhRvgF2OEm1Sts507KhxE 3Hc40qAOIpmc7OvdfzxNqa+3j0zqZO/iclPBrdOgLFW6DumIYDFdvlJBOZ4V6lyM z7VRI0vdKpE6/tYwdCwGKlyok/7xgBhS5L+oe+qq/LzPARCUF2F/ZX9PGfpfQCYm c3vXdM2sCBY= =Vr+z -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I'm not going to install remailer software that would allow this because it'd make it even easier to post messages under someone else's name. I think that's rude and I'm not going to help other people do it. I think it's fine for people to refuse to identify themselves or to identify themselves with multiple names, but I don't like people using other folks' names, esp. in text-based media where the notionis of "identity" and "author" are awfully slippery in the first place. (Yes, I am aware that it's trivial to forge messages, and that widespread use of digital signatures would make the From: line essentially meaningless.) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBLuYmoH3YhjZY3fMNAQEgrgQAtm0KAK+lP4POZozsYrze0qGPityCOWJX VFsPCA+oobQiDNQtHdmTp9zyNB0rvjc1FyfZKtHICSiRx1FFQ3SGOP/Tzjx3hcsq hrJAWBojcklAba2R6OH/u8whfzcZWHbzmGU4n7VjrCTJvxyFkRkFlrfXzVWelveI IqLqpOAc0CE= =3cfj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
