  • Open "mail.txt.asc" (the encrypted mail.txt file) in Notepad (or another plain text editor).
    • The file might also be called "mail.asc".
  • Type "::" in the first line.
  • Hit Enter.
  • Type "Anon-To: " followed by the email address of the last remailer in your chain.
    • The next to last remailer needs to send the message to the last remailer. This is also the email address you have just encrypted the message for.
    • To continue my example message, I'd type "Anon-To: anon@paranoici.org".
  • Leave one line blank.
  • Type "::" and hit Enter.
  • Type "Encrypted: PGP".
  • Make sure there is another empty line before the encrypted message starts.
  • Save the file as "mail.txt" again, overwriting the existing file.
