Indeed, if I would be someone with really non-nice mails to sent I
would make sure all-ID's were the same on every mail, and all dates
rewritten to the same date, and ofcourse use 4096-strong-encryption
and anonymousely remailed through at least 5 anonymizing-remailers.
Even spammers use some of those tricks... 

And then again, using packet-radio on an HF-frequency would do
the trick nicely too and also much simpler and really untraceable.
A nice side-effect is that the receiving-end nor the sender 
have to be "at-any-home" at all ...;-)
