You can do this from inside an editor too; for VIM, select the body
(shift-V) and do
!pgp -fast
(pgp as [f]ilter; [a]scii [s]ign [t]ext)

On our Sun systems, we have two versions of vim,
with 4.2, you don't get too see pgp's prompt for the passphrase, and
  pgp's stderr output is captured by the pipe too;
with 3.0, you get too see pgp's prompt, and the pipe command doesn't
  capture stderr. 

Stuart, I like 3.0's behaviour better. Can this be configured with 4.x
somehow?

Basic elm can't. Our elm includes an old PGP patch; the current version
is available at ftp://ftp.tik.ee.ethz.ch/pub/packages/elm-pgp .
elm-2.4ME+ (an elm derivative with numerous features) supports PGP too
(ftp://dionysos.fmi.fi/KEH).
