This looks like a tedious process indeed. Clipboard decryption is easier
but still not seamlessly integrated.
If we take the context to BBS for example, using PGP seemlessly would require
you to use an offline reader so you keep the keys locally at all times. But
that can be the least intrusive way of using it on a larger scale.
