| I have been contemplating how to mark broadcast messages as being 
| 'for' someone. To foil traffic analysis, you don't want to include 
| their nym or key-id, for the sake of the your poor CPU, you want to 
| avoid the need to attempt decryption on everything that passes through. 

	Keys are cheap.  Everyone should have a bunch.  To foil
TA, hand out a key to each correspondant.  Give them id's like
'latex.limb.malaise <alt.anonymous.mesages>'
