Sorry to chime in late on this. Services works across the board for
PGP 8.1 in Panther, Tiger and before. The only real downside with
this is if you haven't opened the Services menu, often times the
default services keyboard shortcuts are superseded by the
application's keyboard shortcuts.Thus command-5/6/7/8 only serves to
switch the label [and color] of the message. Thus, only the label of
the message is changed and not encrypted.  This reduces the
functionality of the services menu somewhat. The first one can be
selected from the Services menu and subsequent keyboard shortcuts
will go to the services menu [which might affect attempts to label
things later - haven't tested that].

It is perfectly possible to change the keyboard shortcuts for the PGP
Services menu items to something that doesn't conflict with any of
the menu items in PowerMail [also be careful with conflicts with
other items in the Services menu - command-shift-8 is sometimes
displayed at command-* for example].

You can also use AppleScript to select the text of the current
message and [de/en]crypt the selection. I currently use a combination
of the two for my work flow in which I need my received messages to
remain decrypted and not just displayed in the secure viewer window.
