Re: gpg support

[christophe barbe <christophe barbe ml online fr>]

Yes this is a recurring topic.
We need GPG support in balsa.

The integration is not trivial.
I believe that the code to dialog with GPG is not a problem (perhaps with
gpgme library).
The difficulties come from RFC compliance.

I would like to work on it but I've not yet found the time to read the
RFCs.

Until someone with good mail&privacy-related RFCs knowledge take the time
to implement it, we will use alternate (poor) solution like copy/paste from
gpg.
