Actually, I may have finally solved this for myself. By using the anonymous remailer at
dizum.com to send a message to its own mail-to-news gateway, carefully following its
syntax requirements, I have been able to post an anonymous message on
alt.anonymous.messages that looks much like all the others there. Way to go, Granny!
Of course, if I were to use this for real, I would have to be sure dizum.com isn't a honeypot.
