Note the three lines at Reply to:. These prevent chaining from working
from this remailer to my remailer. To implement chaining, my remailer
expects to see "::" as the first non-blank line. Instead, it sees the
"Reply to": as the first non-blank line. Those three lines should be part
of the header. If they can't be put into the header, they should not be
sent out at all.
(Several weeks ago, I got a great many messages from the rebma remailer that
looked the same way. I haven't seen those in a while, so either Bill fixed
the problem or else people have given up on trying to chain from rebma to
my remailer.)
