Mailnews.
A few months ago, I posted to these groups about PGP integration in
Mozilla, but I tried to be protocol-independant, so most of it would be
applicable for you, too. I think, it gives a good overview over the
things to do. Feel free to followup to that thread.

Yes. libmime is the MIME handler and parses Mailnews msg bodies. It has
stubs for signed/encrypted msgs, as you can see if you read such a msg
in Mozilla (you'll see a notice in the body).
As this code has been migrated from 4.x, there are MACRO references in
the form of L_XXXX, where XXXX is alphanum., which I believe hook up to
crypto code, which was never reactivated. If you ask nicely, maybe
Netscape release it now. Dunno, if it would be useful.
BTW: IIRC, you can see similar references is several parts of the
Mozilla, but I don't remember where else.
Adding .mail-news to ccs.
