a new(ish) email script

So, I finally rewrote ~/bin/blog, which all my daniel@triplehelix.org email gets forwarded to, and made it work properly. If the GnuPG signature isn't there, or doesn't verify, it kicks it to the curb, and only works if there's a proper signature (don't laugh - it used to end up creating an empty file). It's also a hell of a lot nicer - I wrote a small GnuPG interface (needed to specify --keyring), as Mail::GnuPG didn't work. It also defangs the MIME nicely (no more errant =3D's), and is generally far better. I'm going to clean it up and post it on my Pyblosxom hacks section later on (which already has my propagation script). It's also about half the size of the old one, in addition to sucking far less, and being more flexible, and not requiring any external scripts, and using less tempfiles. Yay!
