Suggestions for other options are welcome. One that just occurred to me would be to generate an mbox file instead of a bsmtp file. Perhaps the mbox file could somehow be passed into an MUA such as Thunderbird in such a way as to trick the MUA into sending the batch of messages?
For now, one can just copy and paste the generated messages.With only a small handful of keys to be signed, it's a relatively small chore.
