Is it possible to have hamster 'capture' a newsgroup message sent from a
newsreader, and then process it with a script to call mixmaster with the
message as input?

Doing this would allow somebody using a newsreader to have access to the
remailer network and have good anonymity.

It would be like having a newsreader that was also a remailer, and
encourage people to use the remailer network.

Has anything like this been done with hamster?

Write me EXACTLY what MixMaster wants in input and what it gives u in
output (I suppose you'll need the message again to send it with Hamster)
and I can write a simple/lesscontrols script for you.

A properly formatted article (at least Newsgroups: and Subject:
header, strip the From: header!) to be piped into 'mixmaster -p'.

No message output. Mixmaster selects a remailer chain and mails your
message to the first remailer. It reports the selected chain and any errors
on stderr.

No, Hamster should not post the article. Mixmaster does.
Consider mixmaster as a posting method, like NNTP or UUCP.

or it can be directed to a file, or to stdout

Ok, tell me the command line to invoke mixmaster (comprehensive of which
is the parameter where to pass the article).
You need to delete the message from Hamster after having passed it to
Mixmaster, am I right?
