Once in a while I want to send an email but NOT have the person know who I am ... is there any way to do so?

Every e-mail could be traced back to you, but depending on your need for secrecy there are a number of options:
- You may create a bogous account on yahoo or google and use it only for this kind of mail, when viewing the profile the recipients would not find information leading to you.
- You may use an anomymous e-mail system, i enclose a couple URLs, there used to be some free ones but i couldn't find any at first sight.
- For a quick solution, you may send your mail with a incorrect "reply-address" programs like Outloook usually show only this address so a nove user may not know what went wrong (but someone with some knowledge would find the real origin in a matter of seconds).
Anyhow, have fun and remember not to do to others what you don't want done to you, flames are much better in forums specialiced or permitting them.

This is possible. If you know how to write programs in Perl or PHP, it's pretty simple actually. If you have access to a Unix machine, then you can use the sendmail function and not include a from address.

I don't think that there is an "*67" option on the internet. I guess you would have to set up a differant account.

Yeah, send it to someone you don't know.
