mailcrypt-3.5.5, XEmacs 21.4 (patch 3), gnupg-1.0.5, cygwin 1.3.1 problems

Volker> Hi I think there is a bug in the regular expression in Volker> mc-gpg.el which is used in mailcrypt-3.5.5 together with Volker> gnupg-1.0.5. I'm seeing the same problems with XEmacs 21.5 beta 1 "anise", mailcrypt-3.5.5, GnuPG 1.0.5, under Linux (Redhat 7.1). I've downgraded to GnuPG 1.0.4 in the mean time. As I've mentioned, I'm not to bright - how do I go about applying/testing Volker's fix? Do I just hack mc-gpg.el and rebuild Mailcrypt? What about code to detect GnuPG <= 1.0.4 and => 1.0.5 - is it possible to detect this and add it to Mailcrypt so as not to break old GnuPG versions with Mailcrypt (even tho everyone should upgrade :-) I think I should start learning Elisp :-) Baz.
