Here is my first attempt (Python 3.4 and GPGME bindings required):

https://github.com/kianga/pgpmime

Needless to say, this is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL – use at your own risk,
and keep backups of your e-mails! However, any feedback, patches or
pull requests are appreciated.

Current limitations:

- Tested against PGP/MIME encrypted messages created by Claws Mail only

- Does not handle inline PGP encrypted messages at all

More details are in the README.

To my surprise, it does seem to preserve signatures, but only if they
are not part of the encrypted message itself, but rather a separate
attachment inside the message.

It also does some strange things with the MIME structure: the resulting
message is a multipart/mixed with a single sub-part. My Claws Mail will
display this like any other message, but I have not tested it with other
mail clients yet.

Again, feedback is welcome, and please make backups. :-)

René
