I use enigmail and PGP very regularly and have talked to the author of enigmail. One good news is that he was consulted when adding this functionality (and he was looking over the code) so there is some hope that this will be able to replace enigmail. OTOH he has recommended that you do not upgrade to this release if PGP is super important as things are likely to break and have multiple bugs. ymmv.
