I'm curious what you (as in everyone, not Jonathan specifically) means 
when asking for PGP support.  There's signing messages, verifying 
signatures, encrypting messages, and decrypting messages.  There's 
inline PGP, PGP/MIME, S/MIME (okay, not exactly PGP, but still), and 
probably other standards I haven't heard about.  Which of these can you 
not live without, and which would just be icing on the cake?  "PGP 
support" is a huge problem, but "verifying inline PGP signatures" is a 
bit more tractable.

Just so everyone knows, there is a bug tracking PGP support: 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713403.  You might do better 
to respond there, so whoever decides to attack this problem will see it.
