       header lines

SYNOPSIS

       mixmaster-filter

DESCRIPTION

       mixmaster-filter is a wrapper around mixmaster. It will filter out
       header lines which may endager your anonymity.

       All but a few options are passed on to mixmaster as is. If you specify
       -m, -g, -l or -n (see mixmaster(1)) then STDIN is filtered, otherwise
       mixmaster is executed as is.

       It is intented to be used from Mail User Agents like the mutt(1) email
       reader.

OPTIONS

       --mixmaster=MIXMASTER
           Set the path to the mixmaster binary.

       --configfile=FILTERCONFIGFILE
           Set a config file for mixmaster-filter.

       --help
           Print a brief help message and exit successfully.

       --version
           Print a version information and exit successfully.

       All other options are passed through to mixmaster.

FILES

       --configfile parameter
       MIXMASTER_FILTER_CONF environment
       ~/.Mix/filter.conf
       /etc/mixmaster/filter.conf

       The first file that is found is used.

FILEFORMAT

       The configuration file for mixmaster-filter is simple. Lines with
       whitespace only are ignored as are lines that have the hash our pound
       ("#") sign as their first non whitespace character.

       Lines are always truncated at the first hash our pound ("#") sign.

       The first logical line gives the filtering policy. It’s either "FILTER"
       or "ALLOW".

       All other lines are taken as a list of Headers.

       If your policy is "FILTER" headers in your list will get removed from
       messages.

       If your policy is "ALLOW" only headers in your list will be passed to
       mixmaster.
