Oh my, I misread your message. Sorry for that.

Yes, it implements the protocol and a basic UI. My only issues is that I
wrote this before I dove in to the EPA source, and realized that it more
or les depends on GnuPG. And if GnuGP is alreay given, I could just as
well use it's build-in functionallity for querying the server, without
having to reimplement it in Elisp.

Couldn't it extend Gnus/rmail externally? Or could Gnus/rmail check if
it's feature is available?
