Many people use anonymous pseudonyms to send and receive mail that cannot be traced to them. This program is for people who know what the pseudonyms ("nyms") are, understand how they work, and wish to make their use a little easier. Antonym supports the following functions:

• Generating a create or modify block for a given reply path
• Decrypting a message sent to a particular nym
• Generating random passwords or text phrases
• Encrypting mails to be sent to nymservers
• Encrypting mails to be sent to anonymous remailers
• Calculating statistics about a given remailer chain

In comparison to another Unix nym tool, Premail, some of Antonym's advantages and disadvantages are:

Pros

• Still being actively developed.
• Supports reply blocks that terminate in mail2news gateways.
• Supports GPG in anticipation of more remailers accepting it.

Cons

• Doesn't have as many users.
• May never be more than a niche item for a few people.
