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 ...;-) cor -- (setq reply-to (concatenate 'string "Cor Gest "" ")) 500 Years ago the Inca used strings to communicate, computers still do.
