Agreed. Add on gnupg for signature verification and decryption (perhaps callable by procmail). I'm not surprised there isn't one monolithic tool to do what you ask; you're asking a lot. Chaining one existing specific tool after another to build up your overall system is the way to go. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
