Okay, looks like nobody can help me. I guess not that many people use PGP
email from web2py. Probably because it's so gnarly.
This has been my second attempt to get PGP email working. My first attempt
was 2 years ago, and at that time I had to give up for lack of support. I
shall have to give up again. Pity, because I had gotten so close this time!
I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I used to write web apps using
Smalltalk/Seaside, and their support for email functionality was also given
short shrift. It seems like email functionality gets no respect...
