Yep.

And there was a nice wrapper for PGP that could be fairly deamlessly inserted
into the "editor" hook of an offline reader.  I used to use it with Bluewave. 
Was a nice system, about as seamless as you could get for the tech of the day,
and I used it a fair bit.  It might still exist on my old backups.  Given that
it simply called PGP with the right parameters, I suspect that it could be used
with a DOS version of GPG as well.  From memory, the PGP command lines for the
various functions (encryption, decryption, signing, key management, etc) were
configurable.
