Clipsecure looks like a very flexible little program. Many users
don't want to be bothered with copying ciphertext out of their mail
and then spawning a seperate encryption process. Pegasus should work
seamlessly with this product and offer integrated passphrase entry.
The fact that Clipsecure will be open source for version 1.2 will
allow any number of options to be added.
