It's an interesting problem, I'm sure others have given it more thought. I suppose we could use the blacknet idea: have a known place where everyone posts their messages to others, but each message is encrypted to each target, which is some unknown key (keyid==0 in OpenPG from memory). Then, everyone downloads every message and attempts to decrypt them all. If they fail, the message wasn't for them... Some optimisation would help ;-) iang >> If you want such a thing to be done, don't create a committee.
