Probably not the resolution you're looking for but...

Can you encrypt it before mailing it, or accessing it with you mail
program? That is, type your message in a text file, encrypt it, then
mail to your target with the message as an attachment? This is what I
do if my mailer I'm using doesn't support GPG-

emacs message.txt
gpg --list-keys | grep 'you@your.home.org'
Key XXXXX/123ABCD Your Buddy <you@your.home.org>
.... ..... .... ... .... ..
gpg -r 123ABCD -se message.txt
mail -a message.txt.gpg -r "me@home.org" -s "Secrect message :P" \
you@your.home.org

(then)
Type your mail message, ^D to end:


Hi you, here is your secret message attached!

^D

Sending mail, blah,blah, blah...



It's not pretty, but it works. I use the basic "mail" (or nail, as
it's really called, I guess) utility for this, on the command line.
