procmail and gpg

[Stormer's Cgi-Archive]

Julian,

Sorry for the initial description... here is why I want it...

What I would like to do is have a regular pop3 mail account on a
private server... any email sent TO that email address will be
encrypted with my public key when it arrives on the server.  Then when
I download it into Mozilla
Thunderbird with EnigMail addon it will decrypt it.   The usefulness
of this ability can be expanded to other perl/php scripts that email
information to that same pop3 but don't have any type of gpg port yet.

Thanks!

James
