-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I believe I have uncovered a serious bug in the Finnish anonymous
remailer, one that allows me to piece together anonymous id's and
actual email addresses.

I'm reluctant to publish the details here, but I'll explain how it
works if you send me your email address.
