GPG support is a perfect application for Python scripting in Mahogany.
GPG is a command-line tool. Just call it directly from Python. (Even
if you create nice Mahogany dialogs, ultimately they should just issue
command-line GPG calls.)
Python's os.popen2() call is a good candidate. This type of call is
better than a raw os.exec(). It offers file/pipe pointers instead of
requiring huge command-line strings containing all data.
The promise of Python scripting drew me to Mahogany. I'm not a
current user. VZ just told me that Python scripting is no longer
really supported. I will keep monitoring the project however.

Very loose pseudo-code (no attempt at good Python/GPG syntax or
grammar):
import os;
{child_stdin, child_stdout} =
popen2("gpg.exe --encrypt --recipient [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r");
fwrite(child_stdin,
"a long message\nwith embedded special chars like \" and LF\n");
fclose(child_stdin);
result = "";
while(!foef(child_stdout))
result += fread(child_stdout);
fclose(child_stdout);
