Instead of messing with user interfaces, you set the POP and SMTP addresses of your mail program to "localhost". You run locally a Visual Basic program that sits on ports 110 (POP) and 25 (SMTP) listening for connections. The VB program is configured with the addresses of your real SMTP and POP servers, and acts as a proxy.
When your mail program retrieves POP mail, it goes through the VB program, and the VB program decrypts any PGP mail it sees. When it sends mail, the VB program encrypts any mail it has a PGP key for the recipient of.
Would you be stuck if you wanted to send something unsigned and/or unencrypted ? -Lewis "Shit !" -Pres. Richard M. Nixon, 1973
