 Uu> Reports of the wimsey remailer's demise are premature.  I just used

If this goes through, it's back up.  I have used it recently and it
worked again.  Apparently, it was just temporarily ailing.

 Uu> pkcs_compat = 0     # Use backwards-compatible formats

 Uu> The PGP in use by the remailer may be version 2.0 or 2.1, which will

I don't think that this was the problem, but is there any drawback to
installing this line in CONFIG just in case?

 Uu> Wimsey also has an anonymous reply mechanism using a message pool.
 Uu> For more info, send "help" to

 Uu> pool0-request@extropia.wimsey.com

Will check this out.

On the other hand, it makes it fair game for legal interception by the
NSA.

 Uu> I think the Hall Remailer at <nowhere@bsu-cs.bsu.edu> recognizes a

I shall try this one also.  Thank you very much for your assistance.
