In general I agree that replacing PGG is TRTTD.  I haven't had time to
look at EasyPG yet, but some questions come to my mind: 

- are the features I added to PGG (symmetric encryption, use of
  gpg-agent) already in EasyPG?

- how does EasyPG communicate with gpg?

  The (strongly) recommended way to utilizes gpg in applications is
  using the gpgme api (or maybe the assuan protocol directly, but I'm
  not sure about this, I added Werner Koch to the CC, so he might
  comment on this).

  It would be great if EasyPG would do just that.

- Is there any S/MIME support in EasyPG?
  As gpg supports S/MIME since version 2.x this would be a great
  enhancement.
