I've been known to use GnuPG for very specific security
stuff, I'd use it more if it was integrated with Netscape
Messenger, but they only use S/MIME. Since I'm mostly using
it to stop it being intercepted, I don't need to advertise
my public key, just include it in the e-mail, I just need
the public key of the security organisation involved.

Since I use KDE 1 and Netscape, even the "encrypt clipboard"
feature is still not 100% in Geheimis.

Kimap was a potential mail client, supporting IMAP and
GPG/PGP

For security audits I usually use the Royal Mail cloaking
system and send them in brown envelopes.

Any recommendations for mail clients supporting IMAP, LDAP,
and GnuPG considered.... Since everything is now in standard
protocols switching mail clients should be easy.
