General Search Tips
Add a plus "+" sign in front of a word, and all of the documents found will contain the word.
Add a minus "-" sign in front of a word, and none of the documents found will contain the word.
Examples:
+disneyland -mouse
All documents will mention disneyland but not mouse.+disneyland +mouse
All documents will mention disneyland and mouse.
Just as in real life, it is possible to send a mail message without attatching a return address or any information about your identity. This enables you to speak and communicate more freely without worry that your words, if objectionable, will cause consequences to your person.
Please understand the technology before you use it for sensitive communications. No technology is absolutely perfect. This e-mail form uses Mixmaster, which is, though not perfect, incredibly close. Read the essay by Lance Cottrell called Mixmaster and Remailer attacks, and the Anonymous Remailer FAQ by Andre Bacard, author of Computer Privacy Handbook.
