My guess is that these are the new e-tree bugs, it's currently being
rewritten so there are a number of bugs here and there. Hopefully these
will be worked out in the next week or so.

Do you have everyone's keys in your keyring to whom you are encrypting
to? If not, it might be that gpg is prompting evolution for more data
but evolution doesn't have any way of knowing it's being prompted for
more information. This might be the cause of the hang. So make sure that
you have everyone in your keyring and that you have signed their keys,
etc.

I've got to figure out a better way of doing this but to be honest I
have no idea what I can do.

There are CORBA interfaces to most of the components, though I think
that the mailer component is a bit lacking currently.
