I could add an X-Toad: line to the header that you can filter on. The openpgp.net node 
is using listproc and the removal of the Received: lines is hard coded into the 
software (I have tried to override it in the config file but it just ignores that 
setting).

Jim could modify his tagging method to add the CDR: tag between the Re: and the 
subject. This would prevent the Re: CDR: Re: CDR: Re: mess that shows up on to many 
subject lines.

I have set up my node to add an extra line to the message headers:

X-Toad:

This will be added to any lines that contain the toad.com a Received: header line.

Sorry,

I meant to write:

This will be added to message headers that have a Received: header line containing 
"toad.com".

To whom something is marketed makes no difference when it comes
to censorship.  It is no one's right to stop Teletubbies from
hawking Marlboros.  Freedom of speech is not compromisable.

Cut the carbs and lose the fat

2000-09-23 Thread s4q91rEOQ

It's a scientific fact: High-carbohydrate diets simply don't work. When you consume 
extra carbohydrates and sugars, they simply turn into fat. 

But now, a scientific breakthrough has shown that the real secret to losing fat is to 
cut your intake of carbohydrates and sugars. It's no wonder that low-carbohydrate diet 
plans have become so incredibly popular these days. 

Our product is the first scientifically designed, all-natural, stimulant-free dietary 
supplement that helps you cut the carbs and lose the fat. 

It's As Easy As 1, 2, 3!
This supplement helps to:

1. Turn carbohydrates into energy instead of fat.

Having a child gives you no extra rights to control others' behavior.

If you don't want to see lesbians kiss, stay out of the ballpark.

[the latter a reference to two lesbians being evicted from a

New email could confound law enforcement

2000-09-23 Thread anonymous

A start-up is set to release a novel messaging service that lets people send heavily 
encrypted email directly to each other, a development that could be a boon for privacy 
advocates but a headache for law enforcement authorities. 

AbsoluteFuture.com of Bellvue, Wash., has dubbed its service "SafeMessage," describing 
it as a "direct messaging" service that transmits messages from party to party without 
the use of a central server. 

This distinction is significant because email, which always passes through mail 
servers, leaves a trace copy of itself that can be subpoenaed, read or otherwise 
accessed by unauthorized readers. 

Besides bypassing a central server, the messages are heavily encrypted and are 
programmed to be automatically erased after a period of time designated by the sender. 
The encryption not only prevents outsiders from reading the message, but also limits 
the message recipient's ability to forward, cut and paste, or print the message. 

"(Email) leaves a permanent trail," said CEO Graham Andrews. "Not only on your 
computer and the receiver's computer, but also three or four servers in the middle." 

Whether or not direct messaging can strip away all traces of a document sent over the 
Internet is unclear, as the system does not do away with the need for an Internet 
service provider to allow parties to share files. 

"It's certainly going to pass through the server that connects you to the Internet and 
the server that connects the recipient to the Internet, but it will not pass through 
the typical mail servers," said Tony McNamara, AbsoluteFuture's chief technology 
officer. 

Amid growing concerns about privacy on the Internet, more people are inquiring about 
the secure transfer of data online, especially in instances of financial and banking 
data. AbsoluteFuture joins a growing list of companies that are responding to this 
market need with encrypted email services. 

Rival products include HushMail, ZixMail, Disappearing Inc. and Authentica. 

Unlike AbsoluteFuture, however, these services use ordinary email delivery systems 
that are prone to online eavesdropping and may leave trace copies behind in the 
computers used to carry them. AbsoluteFuture believes it has found a solution to this 
problem by harnessing technology known as peer-to-peer networking, which connects 
personal computers directly, without the need for a central server to route file 
transfers. 

Meta Group analyst David Thompson calls the market for peer-to-peer or encrypted 
messaging nascent. "People are just starting to realize that this kind of thing is 
even possible," he said. 

Peer-to-peer technology gained widespread notice after file-swapping company Napster 
was sued by the Recording Industry Association of America for allegedly facilitating 
the transfer of copyrighted material. 

While SafeMessage does not present any copyright violation, it could undermine the 
efforts of law enforcement agencies that sift and subpoena email messages to catch 
criminals. Most notably, privacy advocates have called attention to the FBI's 
Carnivore program, which is installed at ISPs and scans massive amounts of email to 
track messages sent by people under investigation. 

AbsoluteFuture's SafeMessage system would potentially allow people to operate below 
this radar screen. 

AbsoluteFuture said it is marketing its product primarily to corporate clients. "We 
believe this should be available to individual consumers, too, but we're not really in 
a position to handle that, so we are going to go the route of licensing to ISPs," 
Graham said. "We are very close to signing up several resellers." 

The company said SafeMessage is already being tested by a number of large corporate 
clients including a major oil trading company in Moscow, a large accounting firm, and 
a couple of stockbrokers. 

To use SafeMessage, a person signs on to the program with an ID and password, 
similarly to an email client. When typing the recipient, the person sends the contact 
to AbsoluteFuture's server, which locates the recipient online and allows the sender 
to send the message directly to the recipient. 

The message is encrypted before it leaves the sender's computer, and the decoder key 
is destroyed. If the recipient is not online, the sender must send the message to 
AbsoluteFuture's server, which will hold the message until the recipient logs on or 
the message times out. 

"In one sense this is slightly less secure because we're looking after it," Graham 
said. "But we don't have the key to get at it. Even if there was a court order for the 
message, it is highly encrypted. We'd say, 'OK, go ahead try to open it.'" 

Meta Group's Thompson said that while the system sounds secure, he is not convinced 
that it is foolproof. He said that during the period of time before the message is 
de
