Oh, yes, I am well aware of what my headers say. But what I didn't
say (and will be careful about revealing) is how I connect to that
server in Hong Kong. Also, nobody knows who I am because I did not
subscribe to that server, nor to the news server. I use them because
they are available to me. Next time I might use a different one.
I will not keep this Nym, perhaps next time use something different.
Maybe yours?
I trust you are retreiving your hotmail.com messages via either SSL or
a tunnel. Not sure if you can use SSL all the way into hotmail - never
liked using it.
This one was done thru the remailers, maybe easier. Can you still do a
trace?
