I haven't had time to keep up-to-date on sup development, so I'm sorry
if I'm asking something that's obvious to everyone else. A few weeks
ago there was only support for using GPG on received messages (signature
verification and I believe decryption); support for signing and
encrypting was lacking. Has this changed by now, or are there
well-known (external to sup) workarounds?

What if I don't want to obey the laws? Do they throw me in jail with
the other bad monads?

Excellent timing on this question. SVN currently has a mocked-up
interface for choosing sign/encrypt/sign+encrypt for each message, and
as of last night I have most of the code necessary for signing outgoing
messages in my local repository. It needs a little polishing but should
be committed soon. (And encrypt/sign+encrypt should be pretty easy after
that.) (Also, this is all gpg-specific at this point.)
I will send an announcement when it's in.

I've committed a patch to add sign, encrypt, and sign+encrypt
capability. As with decryption and signature verification, this is gpg-
specific, and relies on gpg-agent for all password interactions. I don't
really want to get into the business of password management.
I need to add some mechanics for determining which setting is pre-
selected on a per-message basis. This will almost certainly be a hook.
Other than that, is should be basically functionally complete.
I did add one config option: :discard_snippets_from_encrypted_messages,
which defaults to false. If this option is set to true, snippets that
were generated from encrypted content will not be stored in the index.
This is a limited security measure, because someone with access to the
Ferret index can recover the contents of the message in several ways
(that's the problem with the basic operation being full-text search!),
but this eliminates the most trivial way of getting encrypted message
content. It also means that the snippet for a message won't show up in
thread-index-mode until you load the message and enter in the password.
