Koni Marti b19b844a63 pgp: PGP/MIME encryption for outgoing emails
implements PGP/MIME encryption with go-pgpmail. The Encrypt() function of
go-pgpmail requires a list of public keys which are taken from the
keystore. The keystore is searched for the email addresses of all
recipients (to, cc, and bcc).
If you want to be able to read the encrypted email afterwards, add
yourself as a recipient in either to, cc, or bcc as well.

Public keys can be exported from gpg into aerc as follows:
$ gpg --export  >> ~/.local/share/aerc/keyring.asc

When composing a message, the encryption is enabled with the
":encrypt" command. This sets a bool flag in the Composer struct.
A reapted application of this command will toggle the flag.
The encrypted message can also be signed by using the ":sign"
command before or after ":encrypt".

Koni Marti 69d4e3895f pgp: PGP/MIME signing for outgoing emails
implements PGP/MIME signing with go-pgpmail. The Sign() function of
go-pgpmail requires a private (signing) key. The signing key which matches
the senders email address (from field in email header) is looked up
in aerc's copy of the keyring.

Private keys can be exported from gpg into aerc as follows:
$ gpg --export-secret-keys  >> ~/.local/share/aerc/keyring.asc

A message is signed with the ":sign" command. The sign command sets
a bool flag in the Composer struct. Using the command repeatedly will
toggle the flag.
