No, because the plug-ins I've referred to do not access the command line,
which is how GnuPG is implemented in Windows.  PGP 5.0.x up to PGP 6.5.8
have a command line version, too, but its the version of PGP that *does not*
run from the command line that is accessed by these plug-ins.  In my
experience (though I have yet to have it confirmed) I believe there is a
"bug" in the command line version of PGP 5 and up which prevents "sign &
encrypt" working.

I'd be interested in his results.
