Balsa Encrypts messages with GnuPG!

Hello List,

I just wrote support for encryption with GnuPG (gpg). I'm still testing it,
and I've run into a few minor problems. One problem I've run into is that
attachments and such don't get MIME encoded and actually inserted in to the
text of the message until somewhere in libbalsa/send.c using libmutt
structures. Right now the encryption that I've written only encrypts
messages that were typed in to the window. This is partly because I haven't
really gotten too deeply into the Mutt code, but also because I have some
questions about how to actually do it. Do we encrypt the files separately
(this is what Eudora does with encrypted messages containing attachments)
or do we take the whole thing concatenated and encrypt it (this seems to
make more sense to me). If anyone has any Ideas about it, let me know.

Anyway, I haven't yet gotten to start decryption/verification (I wanted to
get encryption/signing working first), but I don't see that as being any
harder than encryption (famous last words).

I'll have the patches in as soon as I get them cleaned up.


Thanks,

Alan
