   if   
   >WME is active, all mails, whether sent normally or by one of your nyms, are   
   >examined for the presence of corresponding encryption keys. If OmniMix finds   
   keys   
   >for all 'To:' and 'Cc:' recipients and there are no 'Bcc:' recipients (who

   prove   
   >the authenticity of the sent mail.   
   >Finally you have to tell OmniMix, who's allowed to use the single private key   
   /

   from   
   >that rule, then use the according header directive. 'O-WmeSend-Mode: required'   
   >e.g. rejects a message that can't be WME encrypted, with 'O-WmeSend-Mode:   
   >disabled' you would even be allowed to send a usual anonymous mail to someone   
   >whose key is present at the WME keys list. The 'Sign' setting within the WME   
   >participants list is binding in any case. Therefore, if signatures are   
   requested,   
   >the WME encryption has to fail as long as the password isn't properly set for
