Yes, and other notable features,

- It provides a way to examine the verification result, which helps
  verify a message signed with multiple keys.

- It can ask a user which private key to be used for encryption/sign.

- It can handle PGP messages in the binary format as well as the
  ascii armor format.

- Dired integration.

- Transparent file encryption/decryption.

- Key signing.

Since epg.el is a general purpose PGP library, I think it should be a
part of Emacs (not Gnus) from the beginning.
