Yup.  It is, but it is a good question.

There are several shell scripts that do exactly what you want.

One is mkpgp which you can find out about by sending mail
to [email-masked] (with subject "mkpgp" I think).

Another, editpgp is available on the main UK pgp ftp site:
ftp.ox.ac.uk in /pub/crypto/pgp.  Look in the utils directory there.

There is also something called BAP (Bryce's Auto PGP), I'm not
sure exactly where that can be gotten.

All of these work by setting them up as your "external editor".
