I tried this and yes, if enigmail is configured to use pgp/mime,
decrypting in Evolution works.

Nevertheless, inline pgp is such an important (important because
commonly used) feature that Evolution ought to be able to use it
passively as well as actively (de- and encrypting).

Looking for examples? Inline pgp is used by KMail for example, default
configured Enigmail and last but not least the original, commercial
edition of Pretty Good Privacy, version 8.

So how do you think about implementing inline pgp encrypting and
decrypting feature?

P.S.: I *would* implement it myself instead of asking but unfortunately
my programming experience isn't good enough yet...
