We have standards already for a fully encrypted email system. It's called PEM, Privacy Enhanced Mail. It'd be completely senseless to come up with a different format at this point, as PEM is on the verge of deployment.
One might have a good reason to follow most of PEMs formatting standards and the like; I'd fully agree its foolish in the extreme to do otherwise. However, some of us don't like PEMs hierarchical key authentication concepts. Perry
