>[direct replies to an anon id reveal _your_ anon id]
To avoid this, instead of replying to e.g., an41418 at anon.penet.fi, reverse
the first two letters (mnemonic 'not anonymous') and thus reply instead to
na41418 at anon.penet.fi.
It will go to the same person, but your reply will not by anonymized, and
thus your identity will not be revealed.
Hope this helps,
