The last release is September 2002.  One can infer that it isn't being
maintained.

See the Gnus texinfo manual.

      (require 'pgg)
      (setq mm-verify-option 'known)
      (setq mm-decrypt-option 'known)
      (setq gnus-buttonized-mime-types
            '("multipart/signed" "multipart/encrypted"))

      (add-hook
       'message-setup-hook
       (lambda ()
         (mml-secure-message-sign-pgpmime)))

Then, when composing a message, and in summary, do ^H m and read all
the keybindings with "secure" in them.
See "W s" in summary mode.

A big issue is in getting the passphrase from the keyboard, via emacs,
to gpg.  It's important not to write it to disk.
