+ The main function of premail is adding support for encrypted e-mail
+ to your mailer, using plain PGP, [20]PGP/MIME, [21]MOSS, or
+ [22]S/MIME.
+
+ In addition, premail provides a seamless, transparent interface to
+ the [23]anonymous remailers, including full support for Mixmaster
+ remailers and the nymservers. Nymservers provide cryptographically
+ protected, fully anonymous accounts for both sending and receiving
+ e-mail.
+
+ While premail can be used as a stand-alone application, it works
+ best when integrated with your mailer. Currently, premail is
+ integrated completely seamlessly and transparently only with
+ Netscape 3.0's built-in mailer. It works fairly well with [24]Pine
+ 3.94 or later, as well (plain PGP is supported, but decryption of
+ MIME-based e-mail encryption protocols is still missing).
+ Transparent integration of outgoing mail only is supported for any
+ mailer in which the mail sending program can be configured,
+ including Berkeley mail, most emacs mailers, and [25]MH. For these
+ mailers, you can decode messages with a single command.
