I get unsolicited enciphered mail I return it to sender. I get a second I
return it with a cease and desist message. A third and mail delivery to me
will be blocked.


There also requires to be a criminal conspiracy sufficiently convincing to

Don't think so some how but feel free to put it to the test, if you'd really
want to risk the prison sentence that may lie at the end of such a ploy.
