I've got a question that I feel like I *should* know the answer to, but don't.
Say I configure Netscape to point through an open http proxy, and then connect t
an open NNTP server. I don't know much about how proxies work. Does the NNTP
connection go through the proxy or directly from my machine? As I understand it
if it does the first, then I don't have to worry about the NNTP server's log
file, if any. But if it does the second, I do.
Am I in the ballpark here?
ObCrypto: Not-readily-traceable posting with less hassle than a mail-to-news
gateway seems to have some privacy relevance, even if it's not directly crypto.

The is a log file that stays on the server...
spcifically the newsrc it contains the news groups and the messages that
were read. As far as posting netscape handles the mail by coping the
letters that you send out into the file called outbox in the nsmail
directory.
