This is the copy that was sent to the remailer operators' list. Note that the start of "FROM:" is corrupted, and there's some odd line breaking. I'm guessing that's the reason the signature doesn't check (for me, either). -L. Futplex McCarthy Forwarded message:

TO: THOMAS M. SMALL COUNSEL FOR RELIGIOUS TECHNOLOGY CENTER AND BRIDGE PUBLICATIONS, INC.

=46ROM: Lance Cottrell Operator of remailer@nately and mixmaster@nately

In response to your email of January 3, 1995 requesting that I block= anonymous posting to the Internet news groups alt.clearing.technology and a= lt.religion.scientology.

Although my remailers have always supported direct posting to news groups,= this feature has never been advertised or supported. Since direct posting= from my remailers is never used, I am willing to comply with your request.= Posting to alt.clearing.technology and alt.religion.scientology has been bl= ocked.

By this action I do not admit to any wrongdoing on my part, nor do I wish to= imply any wrongdoing on the part of any users of my remailers. I am merely= turning of a feature that I never intended to be used.

By design it is not possible to prevent users from using my remailers to= send a message to another computer to be posted. I can not, and will not,= block mail to other remailers or to mail-to-news gateways.

Yours, Lance M. Cottrell
