I'd love to get back to coding again, but I don't see that happening for
me anytime soon.  Maybe some motivated coder(s) out there could take up

I'll defer to your knowledge of the issues involving in-line PGP. 
There's certainly no need to go round again on the MIME vs in-line
debates on this list.  But at the same time, I'd wager it would be

are now.
