I have found that it is necessary to have PGP 5 executable in the path
and in the PGPPATH env variable. But PGP 5 works for me, it certainly
doesn't 'eat' files when used with PMMail.

Can you explain exactly what happened, with some details of how the
mail was addressed and how many keys you have. I do find that PMMail is
not well able to deal with multiple keys on the same address yet,
something that could do with fixing.

I'd like to see it so that a key ID could be specified for a recipient
in the address book, and that a key ID for signing, adding fingerprint
and public key to outgoing messages be defined somewhere.
