Hmm. Perhaps the most low down and dirty solution, (no not OutHouse)
would be to use (openssl) smime. I'm not sure, but it may be as simple
as dumping the whole message out to file along with your key, and
using something of the form:
 openssl smime -in msg -inform SMIME -inkey keyfile -out decrypted

The man page has the chapter and verse...
