You could write the headers to a temp file, then append the GPG data and
call sendmail to send the whole thing. 

You could put the whole plaintext message into a single string variable,
then use backticks to pipe the data to gpg and capture the output into
another string. Then open a pipe to sendmail and send the headers, then
the encrypted string.

$scriptname = `basename $0`;
chomp($scriptname);
$recipient = '"Full Name" <user@domain.tld>';
$keyid = '0xNNNNNNNN';
$plainmessage = "You said blah, blah, blah.\n";
$ecnryptedmessage = `echo "$plainmessage" |/home/menno/bin/gpg \
 --homedir /home/menno/.gnupg -a -r $keyid -e --no-secmem-warning`;
open(MAIL,"|/usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -t");
print MAIL "From: $scriptname <nobody>\n";
print MAIL "To: $recipient\n";
print MAIL "Subject: Web form data\n\n";
print MAIL "$encryptedmessage\n";
close(MAIL);


Or you could just specify an appropriate subject on the command line:

$scriptname = `basename $0`;
chomp($scriptname);
$recipient = 'user@domain.com';
$keyid = '0xNNNNNNNN';
$subject = "Web form data ($scriptname)";
$gpgcmd = "/path/to/gpg --homedir /path/to/.gnupg -a -r $keyid\ 
 -e --no-secmem-warning";
$mailcmd = "/bin/mail -s \"$subject\" $recipient ";
open(MAIL,"| $gpgcmd | $mailcmd");
print MAIL "You said blah, blah, blah.\n";
close(MAIL);

You specified the email recipient on the sendmail command line and in the
"To:" header. Also, you cannot redirect the output of gpg into the
existing pipe to sendmail. The closest thing you can do to this is to
write a tempfile and pipe the tempfile to sendmail.
