The interface of gpgsm is very similar to gpg and thus it should be no
problem to add support for it to pgg.  Note however that gpgsm does
not take a passphrase because private keys are entirely managed by the
gpg-agent and thus gpg-agent will pop up a pinentry dialog as needed -
gpg also support the gpg-agent. (There is a curses based pinentry
available).

Just ask me if you need help integrating gpgsm into Gnus; I know the
gpgsm very well ;-).


Shalom-Salam,
