Whoops, sorry. PRINT, then burn before reading
A little-known
E2 secret is how to
/msg someone a
secret message. Obviously, you can't just have your
secret message displayed on the
recipient's
VDU, in
plain sight for any enemy who chances by to
see.
No, the secret of concealment is concealment. And I'm glad to say that Everything2 supports this feature, with a secret feature of the /msg command. Let's say you want to /msg idoether the secret message "attack at dawn" (if you wanted to send it to JayFez, it would have to be "ATTACH AT DAWN!!!", but the principle remains the same). Type this into your chatterbox:
/msg idoether <attack at dawn>Your last writeup was terrible!
Your
correspondent will receive this message:
Your last writeup was terrible!
Voila! Nothing at all for
the enemy to read! No clumsy
encryption schemes (or
scams)! No danger of
RSA being cracked within the next
5 years, and your message being revealed to all.
This is really steganography at its best.
I'm leaving decoding the secret message to your imagination.
