Well, perhaps for some Sylpheeds -- perhaps Claws? The version I'm
running just uses GPGME if it's installed.

http://sylpheed.sraoss.jp/en/plugin.html doesn't list anything, which
sort of makes sense, given GPG is supported natively. I have no Sylpheed
plugins installed at all. Just did a web search and didn't see anything,
but I did find claws-mail-pgpinline searching with apt-cache. It's worth a
shot, if I can find an Ubuntu 9.10 repo. Not sure if Cannonical keeps
older stuff around, but I'll have a look.

And in fact, I found this while looking for an inline plugin. The text
there implies that inline is OK. (But I still think it's a bad way to
do it.)
