  I would not assume that, but also, we can't asume a hacker can't
create a trojan resembling gpg.exe, for the same purpose... And if we
are afraid of entering the passphrase of the secret key... then we can't
read any encrypted message from any email client (we could still
copy/paste the message and decrypt it with gpg... but that would be a
bit laborious).
