I know that Werner Koch brought initial gpgme support in a
development version of sylpheed. If this got extended it would be
worth a look.

Does not really help with OpenPGP, does it? :)

Wow. AFAIK Werner once wrote support and it somehow did not get included.

Yes.

I agree, especially because pine in the newer versions is not Free

Well depending on non-free packages is always a problem.
You probably can ignore xfmail.
