But this would imply, that one (mostly) reimplements OpenPGP for PSM or 
NSS, right? It would be way better to be able to just use GnuPG (or 
maybe PGP). This would save us a lot of work to get PGP running in Mozilla.

The Mailnews UI could still be the same for S/MIME and PGP. We could 
even implement a GnuPG key management UI in PSM - GnuPG explicitly 
allows that and there are lots of such implementations.

I don't think there are license issues either, apart from that fact you 
may not use GnuPG *itself* under the MPL, but the GPL.
