Just want to let you know I'm working on a solution for this (having still 
some trouble with signed messages, encrypted ones behave okay for reply and 
forward). But this is without GUI stuff like below, maybe someone wants to 
add it later when I have finished the backgroud (or I'll add it too).
I'll send a patch to the list when I think I'm ready.
