There is a mail program supporting pgp messages. It's K9-Mail with APG
encryption software. It supports PGP/MIME message format.
Whenever a PGP encrypted message is detected, it calls APG to do the
cryptographic tasks and view the decrypted message.
Of course, there is no way to convert PGP/MIME to inline PGP because
this will break the PGP signature validity.
I recommend to leave the smartphone as is and do the encrypted mails on a pc.
