   ENC   This node accepts inbound encrypted mail and will route it   
         like other mail   
      
   I'm having trouble understanding what there would be to support.  For PGP   
   you're just pasting a blob of ascii text into a netmail.  I don't think it   
   would be treated any differently than a normal netmail, unless it's maybe a   
   size limitation.  In that case, Mystic anyway, will split the message up into   
   multiple parts, 1/3, 2/3 & 3/3.   
      
   Was the ENC flag intended for some other purpose?
