MailCrypt
Mailcrypt is an Emacs Lisp package which provides a simple
interface to public key cryptography with PGP and GnuPG.
It can be used to sign and encrypt mail, to sign usenet
articles, and to verify/decrypt mail and articles.
Although
Mailcrypt may be used to process data in arbitrary Emacs buffers, it is
most useful in conjunction with other Emacs packages for handling mail
and news. Mailcrypt has specialized support for Rmail, VM, MH-E, and
Gnus.
