PGP/GPG with mail()?????

Has anyone used a PGP key or a gpg key with the php mail function to send encrypted e-mails?

any ideas on how best to implement this?

just out of interest - how would i encrypt/decrypt something with a PGp key?

It could be put to some very interesting uses...

PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) uses a very strong assymetric algorithm. Just search for the word PGP and you will be overloaded with information. PGP uses the quick and secure IDEA algorithm. This algorithm produces an 128-bit key, build out of random chosen bits. This 128-bit key will be encrypted with the public key of the receiver (I mean, the person that receives the message)

I understand what PGP is, and I have implemented it with PERL in terms of an encrypted FORM mailer, but I was wondering if there is a way to use it in conjunction with mail() in PHP.

Encrypting and decrypting involves the use of a matched set of keys, a public key for distribution and a private key that you keep locally. Without the private key it is virtually impossible to decrypt the encrypted text.
