--t4apE7yKrX2dGgJC Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline I've built a Python script for Mutt that mints tokens based on the addresses in the To: and Cc: fields, however, how does hashcash handle Bcc: or envelope recipients? By putting a token for each recipient in the header, the addresses of those recipients would be revealed, thus defeating the whole point. I've thought about minting a token with a resource of "bcc-recipients", and placing that token in the headers, but then that reveals that there have been Bcc: recipients added to the mail. I believe the whole point of Bcc: is to be completely transparent, not revealing to anyone that they exist. So, I'm guessing that it's probably best to just ignore Bcc: and envelope recipients in general. I guess I could mint a token for the From: address (is this what I should be doing anyway?), but then that begs the question of why not just minting a token using the From: address only, and not worry about the To: and Cc: addresses? Am I missing something? -- . o . o . o . . o o . . . o . . . o . o o o . o . o o . . o o o o . o . . o o o o . o o o --t4apE7yKrX2dGgJC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: http://tinyurl.com/aarongpg iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJNimUBAAoJEM55Ebf8BAiPYqUIAJj7W+UqdzJnxictoHy302Rc mdCdZABPGtm18YmilxjtRNdrmSjiL098AyKAV8h8xAyCKsxdMJwZtjkuyxzW6AkM E6HEgFw0yo4tTqYGTTMyXD8NAZD2aew0MaX4aVCFCgj7Z4Sq0b1bHCc927nk9jkX DUrvJLEf2ooTYDIVQ2f+Wj+X7YMfCGoKzb0QIIk1sGLispmbHVKsdhRmQFvSr8dY sybyBXTVghrn7N4O6fL2HfBXRa5i7+e/wUturktlmFNROMhGvadAVwEPe+qGI1mW XL+kua8CaPyQkZOE2rjzv9RimMbRJjTPgl9rTYQ9PbiF/ysJ+wQWW+k9prG/Ms8= =R6zB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --t4apE7yKrX2dGgJC--
