The last release is September 2002. One can infer that it isn't being
maintained.

See the Gnus texinfo manual.

(require 'pgg)
(setq mm-verify-option 'known)
(setq mm-decrypt-option 'known)
(setq gnus-buttonized-mime-types
'("multipart/signed" "multipart/encrypted"))
(add-hook
'message-setup-hook
(lambda ()
(mml-secure-message-sign-pgpmime)))
Then, when composing a message, and in summary, do ^H m and read all
the keybindings with "secure" in them.
See "W s" in summary mode.

A big issue is in getting the passphrase from the keyboard, via emacs,
to gpg. It's important not to write it to disk.
