Hey, Darren.  Some of us are very keenly interested in getting PGP/MIME
support in notmuch as well.  It has been mentioned on irc recently, and
I've been meaning to bring it up again on the list again.

It seems like a pretty tricky thing to implement, but I think some folks
have started looking at it.  I don't know how far anyone has gotten,
though.  I certainly don't have any idea how to do it.  It obviously
requires some sophisticated MIME part parsing, which has been improving
recently.  Other Emacs MUAs obviously handle it, so there's probably a
lot to be learned from them.  Your help and suggestions would definitely
be appreciated.

I'm interested in using this as a stop-gap, but unfortunately I'm not
finding this message in my local store.  Can you point to url in an
archive, or forward this to me or the list?

Thanks!
