The parameters that ccr uses are similar, but still different to the parameters that gpg would use. Ccr would not understand *all* parameters that Enigmail passes to gpg. In addition, it seems that the output of ccr is not comparable to the output produced by gpg. In other words, even if you manage to convince Enigmail to execute a command with ccr, Enigmail would not be able to understand the results that ccr returns. "GnuPG-like" is just not enough. -Patrick
