ACTUAL OUTCOME: Modest has no support for PGP

REPRODUCIBILITY: 
(always, less than 1/10, 5/10, 9/10)

The patches linked to are very basic:

* "only validates signatures (no decryption, no signing or encryption)"
* "It does not yet integrate into the UI, just does the validation and prints a
message to STDOUT"

And the Modest developer says:

* "adding gpg support fits better in tinymail than in Modest"

Unless you can find someone to step up and polish these patches, I'd say this
is a feature request against Modest rather than the CSSU. If it were a case of
merging some ready patches, here's the place.

...which would make this a duplicate of bug 4192.
