Remailing Posts
===============

   Mailcrypt knows how to rewrite USENET posts for anonymous or
pseudonymous remailing.  Just compose your post or followup normally,
and use `C-c / r' to rewrite it for a remailer chain.  You don't even
need to start your newsreader to make a post; you can just compose a
message in mail mode and replace the `To' line with a `Newsgroups' line
before doing `C-c / r'.

   Mailcrypt will generate an error if the last remailer in the chain
does not have both the `post' and `hash' (hashmarks) properties.  The
hashmarks are used to preserve `References' and similar headers, so
your anonymous or pseudonymous followups will thread properly.  The
variable `mc-remailer-preserved-headers' controls which headers are
preserved when rewriting a message, but you should not need to change
it since the default value is reasonable.

   Before rewriting, you can use `C-c / p' to insert your pseudonym,
and `C-c / b' to insert your response block, just like when composing
mail.  In this case, the response block will include the `From' line
and the `Newsgroups' line (which is the news analogue to the `To' line).
