  • Use "cd" to go to your Desktop directory.
    • On Windows, that's typically something like "cd c:\Documents and Settings\menon\Desktop".
  • Type "gpg -ea -r [last remailer address] mail.txt".
    • Replace [last remailer address] with the email address of the last remailer in your chain. If you chose two, that would be the second.
    • For example, I want to send an anonymous email through remailer@aarg.net and (then) anon@paranoici.org, so I type "gpg -ea -r anon@paranoici.org mail.txt".
  • Hit Enter.
  • If GnuPG asks you to verify that you want to encrypt to an unverified key, type "y" and hit Enter.
