The main function of premail is adding support for encrypted e-mail
|
1998-10-06 15:15:29 +00:00
|
|
|
to your mailer, using plain PGP, PGP/MIME, MOSS, or
|
|
|
|
|
S/MIME.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition, premail provides a seamless, transparent interface to
|
1998-10-06 15:15:29 +00:00
|
|
|
the anonymous remailers, including full support for Mixmaster
|
1997-02-02 15:20:55 +00:00
|
|
|
remailers and the nymservers. Nymservers provide cryptographically
|
|
|
|
|
protected, fully anonymous accounts for both sending and receiving
|
|
|
|
|
e-mail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While premail can be used as a stand-alone application, it works
|
|
|
|
|
best when integrated with your mailer. Currently, premail is
|
|
|
|
|
integrated completely seamlessly and transparently only with
|
1998-10-06 15:15:29 +00:00
|
|
|
Netscape 3.0's built-in mailer. It works fairly well with Pine
|
1997-02-02 15:20:55 +00:00
|
|
|
3.94 or later, as well (plain PGP is supported, but decryption of
|
|
|
|
|
MIME-based e-mail encryption protocols is still missing).
|
|
|
|
|
Transparent integration of outgoing mail only is supported for any
|
|
|
|
|
mailer in which the mail sending program can be configured,
|
1998-10-06 15:15:29 +00:00
|
|
|
including Berkeley mail, most emacs mailers, and MH. For these
|
1997-02-02 15:20:55 +00:00
|
|
|
mailers, you can decode messages with a single command.
