Has anyone been working on a pgp interface for MIME ?

This would enable one to transparently send Public Key encrypted mail,
and other things.

It would have to be orthogonal to the regular headers.

In correspondence with Tobias Weingartner <weingart@inf.ethz.ch> he
suggests 

TW> I think pgp data should go so:
TW> 
TW> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
TW> Content-transfer-encoding: X-PGP-{VERSION}
TW> 
TW> Where {VERSION} would be: 2.0, 2.1, etc...
TW> 
TW> This would allow the benefit of transferring text, sounds,
TW> graphics, etc...

Which seems good to me.

Cheers,  Andy.
