If you fell for hushmail's claim that you were safe then you were foolish. If you are doing something illegal online you have to be an idiot to not think it can be tracked. period.
There is no such thing as total anonymity. The problem with other methods described here is that they requre software to be installed on the computer in order to work. If you own a business (Like myself) and you require people to send you sensitive data but its only once ina while you cant expect them to install software. We had a big issue with this. Recently we found the best solution. Private Information Exchange (im sure there are many others like this, this just happens to be the one we use) offers a simple solution. You initiate a request for info which is sent via email. However, the recipient gets the email with a link. they click the link and are asked for the info. The info isnt emailed back, its sent back to the requestor via SSL to their private information exchange account. The requestor simply gets an email that the request has been fulfilled. They log in and can see the info. If you want to find out more about it the website is http://www.privateinformationexchange.com
No system is fool proof, but this seems to be the most efficient that we have found.
