Well I haven't been doing anything on it for quite some time. I think
the code is mostly able to read public and private key files. I never
decided on a good abstraction for reading and writing encrypted files,
though, so that part would need some design work.

That would be a very good idea. My main motivation for OpenPGP was that
it could be used in code signing (back when I tinkered with my
distributed code repository stuff) but its use in a mail client is
definitely a good goal.

Do you happen to have an idea for a good abstraction for
encrypted/signed files and streams?
