[plug] PGP Sign messages

[Shayne O'Neill]

well , http://keys.indymedia.org/ is what I use. but thats no good for
anyone outside the indymedia project

That said, as an unrepentant pine user, the gpg plugin I use causes the
email program to jump out of its skin everyime its within 100 meters of
gpg key (Ie it starts asking me questions I'm unable to answer cos I
havent seen the email yet)
