Thanks again everyone, for the helpful info.  I read some of Safe-mail's 
documents.  Particularly, section "Abuse of the * FREE * accounts."

In last sentence, it's unclear if signing up for free acct ALWAYS must 
come from an existing acct.  "... is not always available," indicates 
sometimes it is.  Haven't tried registering for free acct /w Tor yet, 
but I'm guessing they'll require an email from a * Safe-mail acct.*  I 
know no one w/ an acct.

Sounds a little harsh.  Any reason * whatsoever *?  You email a 
presidential candidate's site that they don't like?  If using Tor, they 
may not know your real IP / location, but (I assume) they can see 
recipient addresses.
