PMMail/2 1.9x can handle PGP 2.6.x. PMMail/2 version 2.0 seems to
support pgp 5.0, but I never could get it work properly. I use some
other programs that need pgp 2.6.x. I think that PMMail/2 2.0 gets in
trouble when there are 2 versions of pgp present and / or when there
are 2 keys, one RSA and one  to one ID. So because of the bad PGP
support in PMMail/2 2.0 I still use PMMail/2 1.96a in combination with
PGP 2.6.3ia-sha1. If I get a message encrypted or signed with a DSS
Diffie-Hellman key, then I proces it manually.
