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. --G
