There is no problem with other MUA using PGG such as Wanderlust and T-Gnus.

In other words, Well, if you would like to add such a kludge, please add your name on the Maintainer: field and rename PGG to Gnus/PGG or such. Of course I'm not the developer nor the maintainer of that package. I know that most Gnus people seem to prefer convenience over clearner design or security. For example, the original PGG does not use `call-process-region' for security reason -- this function writes data to a temporary file. About three years ago, Gnus decided to use `call-process-region' in PGG to avoid display blinking. Since that time, Gnus has been one of world's most insecure MUA. Your passphrases always leak to the filesystem. -- Daiki Ueno
