In the case of iPGMail, it can also use the "mail attachment" OS hook to
automatically populate a draft email. You still need to press "send" a
second time, but you don't have to mess around with clipboards.

The disadvantage is that sending encrypted messages as attachments is
not standards compliant, and enigmail for one has great trouble dealing
with them at the other end. Unfortunately there's no way for an iOS app
to implement PGP/MIME properly, given Apple's strict restrictions on
email apps.
