No. GnuPG support is integrated.

There's no plugin available for that. You have to install one of the
GnuPG GUI front ends. Either GPGShell
<http://www.jumaros.de/rsoft/index.html> or WinPT
<http://winpt.sourceforge.net/>

With either of these, you have the means to manage your GnuPG keyring
since they both have key managers.

For some time now, GnuPG has abandoned using the old 'options' file to
store its configuration settings. It now uses a file called 'gpg.conf'.
You should be able to safely delete the old options file.

The GnuPG plug-in doesn't simply use the default key to sign with. It
uses the key with a matching UID based on the From address in your message
to be signed. This provides an advantage in that it allows you to use
multiple keys without having to choose which key to sign with each time.

However, if you use one key, you have to create UID's for all the

"name" <address>

combinations you may have in your From header when sending mail. If you
look at my UID list, you'll see a number of UID's. This is courtesy of
using TB!'s GnuPG integrated plug-in.
