Yes, passphrases should be manually entered for security reasons.  That one
makes sense.  The Bluewave add-on did all of the PGP command line work in the
background, according to what options were selected.  Passphrases were always
entered manually, when required.

Well, I'm happy with Enigmail on Thunderbird, and I'd like to get something
working in an offline reader again.  Could probably script something that uses
GPG and Multimail under Linux, but Windows would be more of a challenge.
