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?
