Are you referring to the remailer's pool or the outbound MTA's mail queue?

I would have thought that the former was encrypted.  [1]  But the latter 
can't really be encrypted.  It can live on an encrypted file system, but 
all programs that access it will do so via an unencrypted method.

[1] I'm not sure if Mixmaster / YAMN decrypt messages as they receive 
them or as they are processing them just before sending them outbound. 
What state is a message that is sitting in an exit's pool while it waits 
it's turn to go out?
