On my Mac I just entered this answer, cut it to the clipboard, launched
PGP, clearsigned it, and pasted the result back into the Eudora window for
the new mail.

With our mailers, you simply hit the reply key.  Of course, it is PEM
rather than PGP.  But with automated key management PEM can be a lot easier 
to use than PGP with its key ring -- and most implementations don't require 
you to use the restrictive IETF certificiate hierarchy.  See

And then there's the part about it being ugly as sin for people with
non-crypto-aware clients, and a performance hit for people with clients that
are crypto-aware.
