When we talked last about this, Thomas, there seemed to be very few
users of mixmaster/mutt. It does not look as if that situation has
changed. I really do think we should delete it from the code. I'll
ask around on the main list and the usenet group etc. Meanwhile, the
manual says this:-
4.3. Sending anonymous messages via mixmaster.
You may also have configured mutt to co-operate with Mixmaster, an
anonymous remailer. Mixmaster permits you to send your messages
anonymously using a chain of remailers. Mixmaster support in mutt is
for mixmaster version 2.04 (beta 45 appears to be the latest) and
2.03. It does not support earlier versions or the later so-called
version 3 betas, of which the latest appears to be called 2.9b23.
That was at 1.5.15. I do not suppose it has chnaged since then. I think
it should read:-
4.3. Sending anonymous messages via mixmaster.
You may also have configured mutt to co-operate with Mixmaster, an
anonymous remailer. Mixmaster permits you to send your messages
anonymously using a chain of remailers. Mixmaster support in mutt is
for mixmaster version 2.03 or 2.04 (beta 46 appears to be the latest
from September 2002). There is no evidence version 46 has been tested.
It does not support newer version 3 betas. The latest is 3.0rc1.
Is that OK? Could someone add it to the current version of the manual?
Brian.
