Quite right, since the above mentions just the download link and its
features. Or may be this app got covered earlier and the New beta
version is being announced.
Visit http://www.quicksilvermail.net/ for details. In short:

QuickSilver
A Win32 Mixmaster Anonymous Remailer Client

Introduction
QuickSilver is PRIVACY software. It can give you complete privacy in
your email and newsgroup postings. Why would this be of interest to you? ...

Seems pretty interesting.
