A further issue relates to stripping signatures. Let's be clear here.
==> IF YOU ARE PRESENTING YOURSELF AS MULTIPLE IDENTITIES,
AND EXPECT THEM NOT TO BE LINKED, AVOIDING AUTOMATIC .SIGNATURE
FILES IS THE LEAST OF YOUR WORRIES! <==
Remove the file ".signature" from your home directory and you'll be done
with *that* hassle.

PS: An extra credit note for the differently clued among us: Suppose
you wanted to have a *different* signature for each of your multiple
identities? I guess the remailers had better not strip off signatures, eh?
