smtplib & gnupg

[Brot]

Hello,

at the moment my program sends mail with smtplib. Is there a chance to
sign and/or encode/cipher this mails with GnuPG?
If yes, does anyone have some sample code?

Regards
Bernd

To the best of my knowledge, GNUPG acts upon the body of the message.
If you think about it you should realize that the header of the message
cannot be encrypted, as it will be handled by mail servers that have no
knowledge of GNUPG or your encryption keys. I am further emboldened to
make this assertion because the encryption takes place before the
message is sent--that is, before the headers are completely formed.

Not exactly Python, but maybe http://codesorcery.net/old/mutt/mutt-gnupg-howto
might help.
