Black Unicorn <unicorn at schloss.li> comments on the responsiblity
of prudent persons (in, I presume, the context of threating e-mail
sent through an anonymous remailier).
I'm still perplexed: what can a "prudent" remailer operator do if a
threatening e-mail was sent through a remailer under one or more of
the following conditions:
-- The remailer operator is legally enjoined from reading messages
transversing his system. (For example, the remailer is subject to
data privacy laws.)
-- The message was encrypted using the intended recipient's public key.
(This means that, without access to the private key, the operator
has no mechanism to examine the e-mail.)
Confused in Cupertino.
