GPGol supports reaading PGP/MIME encrypted messages.  The user
interface is not very nice because it is only possible save
attachments from such mails, but well it works and you can read
PGP/MIME encrypted mails.  Works only well with OL2003SP2 - older
versions may or may not work.  Creating PGP/MIME messages is not
possible becuase there is no way to set the content-type from a
plugin.  I have been thinking of a hack but that would require changes
to all other mail clients (Foo-Content-Type to override the actual
content-type).

Check out ftp://ftp.gpg4win.org/gpg4win/ for an executable version.
That installer includes a lot of other software too; I have no current
stripped down version available.  GPGol itself is just one DLL.  IF
you have access to a current Debian system you can build GPGol from
the sources available at ftp://ftp.g10code.com/g10code/gpgol/

Setting up a PKI is a complex task for both formats X.509 and OpenPGP;
so I can't tell you how to do this in a few sentences.
