$ echo '12345 alice 3125' | md5sum 9351a30fdcaca3caf8562172b2d02512 $ I was thinking the response would be: To: Alice <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Your vote has been counted Your vote is '12345 alice 3125' Your ID (the md5sum of your vote) is 9351a30fdcaca3caf8562172b2d02512 ---cut here--- And, on the vote summary, we'd see: 12345 9351a30fdcaca3caf8562172b2d02512 And, on the voter list, we'd see: alice As Seth suggested, 3125 could be generated by some user program which looks at /dev/random.
