Did they? I thought it never got off the ground. Maybe some alpha 
version? People certainly ran Mixmaster, Len Sassaman was a close friend.

But when Nick Matthewson left the Mixminion development team for Tor in 
2004 (and Andrei Serjantov, who with George Danezis were the main 
Mixminion theory guys, went in to the quant business) the rest of the 
PET crowd either followed into Tor or left, and there was nobody to 
develop Mixminion.
