 I don't think so, as it's rather difficult to add full support for this.
Apart from simple message decoding/encoding, there are many more things to
do such as managing the keys, signing (and checking the signature), ...

 Unfortunately I don't even know what the full list is as, as I'd written
before, I've never really used PGP/GPG in my life. It would be nice if
someone having real life experience with this stuff could describe how it
should work in M.

 The problem is not with calling GPG -- this is relatively trivial. The
problem is to:

1. understand what exactly should be done and how (UI-wise)
2. provide the necessary hooks in the base code to make it possible
   to implement it
