Remailer Quick Start
====================

   To use Mailcrypt's remailing facilities, you need to configure them
first.  Begin with the following steps:

  1. Do `finger rlist@publius.net > ~/.remailers'.  This will create a
     Levien-format list of remailers in the file `.remailers' in your
     home directory.  Mailcrypt will parse this the first time you
     access a remailer function.

  2. Look over the `.remailers' file and find the ones you want to use.

  3. Add their PGP public keys to your keyring.  You can `finger
     pgpkeys@kiwi.cs.berkeley.edu' for a list of remailer public keys.
     Note that Mailcrypt _requires_ that you have the public keys of
     all the remailers you want to use, and therefore that the
     remailers support PGP encryption.


     _Note:_ These steps need only be done once, although repeating them
     from time to time is probably a good idea, since remailers come
     and go.

   Now test the remailer functions.  First compose an outgoing Email
message (using `C-x m', for example) addressed to yourself.  Type `C-c
/ r'.  Choose a remailer; use `<TAB>' to get completion on its name.
The buffer will be rewritten for anonymous mailing through that
remailer.
