You=C2=B4ll need (transparent) en- and decryption with gpg for the files you=C2=B4re storing externally, and the MUA needs to constantly verify whether the files are still available or not and do something appropriate, like uploading them again, in case they aren=C2=B4t. It also needs to remove the files when the mail expires. That may require a background task and a lot of bandwidth, depending on how much mail you have. And what would be the use of a feature like this? Why not just keep the attachment with the message, right where it belongs? --=20 Knowledge is volatile and fluid. Software is power.
