   Hello Wilfred!

    WvV> Yeah, don't really understand why you would want or need this...   
      
   I concur.  What's wrong with sending encrypted email to a     
   direct destination. I don't understand the need for a "trusted     
   3rd party".   
      
   Perhaps this is a ruse by some three-letter agencies to gain     
   the opportunity to read encrypted traffic.

    WvV> There shouldn't be a problem as long as the pgp payload isn't changed...   
      
   I've tried forwarding encrypting messages that have arrived to     
   one of my addresses to another one that I can access later for     
   convenience.  The latter had trouble processing the blocks.
