Well... I started to write a firefox addon, but never had enough time to finish
it. Perhaps later. If anyone wishes to get what I've done (that is, a js-ctype
binding of gpgme, along with tests AFAICR), I can try to locate the source code!

However, a major issue remains the encryption of HTML documents, which is,
AFAICT, not possible today (well, not automatically at least, as of course gpg
can be used to sign html files); and besides not obviously secure: what about
white-on-white text and such? I don't doubt there are fixes for such, and most
isn't even an issue; I just remember enigmail forbids it, so I guess there are
reasons.

Sorry for not helping you more,
