   Jeff,

   I understand your first example, which justifies the need for encrypted
   only messages. However, I don't understand the second, which is :

   >2) I have a social worker who wants to provide confidential advise to
   >students and/or employees. Because of the sensitive nature of the
   >communications involved I want them to all be encrypted. Furthermore
   >I may want to have some "continuity" of conversation over several messages.
   >I can provide a communications infrastructure that hides the transport,
   >but I need the "privacy enhancement" technology to support this as well.

   Why does the social worker require anonymity?

The social worker doesn't, but the student they are counciling may. I
apologize if my wording was a little unclear.

                                -Jeff
