Does it have to be PGP? The easiest would be to just put ~/Mail on an
encrypted partition, if you don't want to encrypt your whole disk (which
I would recommend doing anyway). Then it would be encrypted at the block
level, completely transparent to Gnus or any other program that might
access it. I use LVM and LUKS for this.
