No idea as I use my own encryption methods if I want to encrypt
something and send as an email or other data. Mine's a bit crude, but
works for me; I was an encryption specialist for the US government in
the 1970's and haven't kept up with 'public keys' et al. In fact, if it
doesn't use one time key cards or one time key plugboards I'm generally
lost :-)

However, before stating "evolution doesn't do PGP" you might want to do
some checking/testing first. Then if Evolution doesn't work as expected
file a bug, or scrap it & explain the reasons for doing so. You may be
right in the end, and find that Evolution really doesn't support PGP -
at least not to your satisfaction, but making general statements like
this doesn't help anyone.
