2 possible solutions:

1.) Install the IDEA plugin which is available for GnuPG. Unfortunately 
I don't know if it's available at gnupg.org. I installed the GnuPG 
addon rpm which came with my SuSE distribution. According to the specs 
it's available at gnupg.de.

2.) If you intend to attend at the Cebit this year you could create a 
new key pair with GnuPG on your own computer and let the Heise people 
sign this new key pair.

Ingo
