  • Back on the command line, type "gpg -ea -r [next but last remailer address] mail.txt".
    • Replace [next but last remailer address] with the email address of the next but last remailer in your chain.
    • In my example, this is also the first remailer, remailer@aarg.net, so I type "gpg -ea -r remailer@aarg.net mail.txt".
  • If GnuPG asks you to verify that you want to encrypt to an unverified key, type "y" and hit Enter.
  • Type "y" and hit Enter to overwrite the exiting "mail.txt.asc" file.
