GPG on Android

[gnupgpacker at on.yourweb.de]

Hello Juergen,
thanks for kind explanation about MailDroid :)

Does MailDroid support several different mail accounts using GPG and/or
S/Mime?

I am using K9-Mail in conjunction with CipherMail for S/Mime, but CiperMail
only supports *one* S/Mime account...

Thx and regards!
