AW: [Mailman-Developers] Secure Mailing Lists
Actually, you can encrypt the message once, to each of the keys of each of the people on the list. You don't have to do multiple encryptions. That would save a hell of a lot of processing overhead.
Another problem I see is that PGP/MIME format. If I implement such secure lists I need to decode mails in that format. Is that staright forward or a complex task? Are there tools/libraries available?

You probably need also to *send* mails in that format! That's the format recommended by RFC2440, so at least you should make it a per-user option.

it's easier to decode PGP/MIME than to scan the body for lines that appear to be PGP headers. You just have to check the MIME-type:
Content-Type: multipart/encrypted; protocol="application/pgp-encrypted";
inside this you'll have an application/pgp-encrypted part
Are there tools/libraries available?
Mailman's Scrubber.py is enough ;)
