Went to it, but it's a pile of code, instead of a downloadable file, and I haven't a clue as to what to do with it, much less how to implement it. Netscape's Edit cut and paste will not paste to KDE's Konsole (I tried to stick it in a vi file, ain't happenin').

Don't know about the encrypted messages, but for the patch:

In Netscape, looking at the patch page, right click on the page and
use "Save link as" to save it to a file. Then go to your
gpg source tree and run "patch < path_to_patch_file", and
then rebuild and re-install gpg. If you didn't build gpg
from source, you'll need to do that; should be easy. The
vast majority of Gnu software can be built by

% tar xzvf some_gnu_source_package.tgz
% cd some_gnu_source_package
% # If necessary, "patch < patchfile"
% ./configure
% make
% su
% make install

HTH,
