I think it would help tremendously if elm or pine were hacked to allow for
remailing.  Even better would be some sort of dynamic remailer addressing
- sendmail certainly doesn't allow for this capability. :( I think we need
something similar to dynamic routing for remailers.

"Past the wounds of childhood, past the fallen dreams and the broken families,
through the hurt and the loss and the agony only the night ever hears, is a
waiting soul.  Patient, permanent, abundant, it opens its infinite heart and
asks only one thing of you ... 'Remember who it is you really are.'"
