Type II remailers use mixmaster, not PGP.

No. The remailers are serious. They only use software where the source is
available and has been examined.

Serious remailer users don't give a flying XXXX about glitzy new "features"
in "the latest version" of PGP. What they care about is the invulnerability
of the encryption, the lack a backdoors, and a certain level of comfort
that their software hasn't been compromised.

PGP 6 is the last version of PGP to have been carefully and thoroughly
examined by experts and programmers and guaranteed to have no backdoors.
Anything else and you can not be certain there is not a backdoor.
