we'll do this job. It is the very first to work on before we proceed
with the actual gpg-Plug-In for OpenPGP/S/MIME support.

Of course it would be nice to have many testers to try out
the current PGP2 support transformed into a Plug-In :-)

we try our very best to ensure this via transforming the current functionality
into a Plug-In. Once you are accept the new style as working, we will
leave this part to be maintained by others and concentrate on the gpp Plug-In.

Hope this is OK for you?
