x/crypto/openpgp: How to simultaneously sign and encrypt

[Ape]

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

go version go1.11.4 linux/amd64

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

I tested with the latest master.

What operating system and processor architecture are you using (go env)?

x/crypto/openpgp supports encrypting and signing messages, but is it possible to simultaneously sign and encrypt a message? I am mainly interested in symmetric encryption similar to gpg --sign --symmetric.

There is now a golang-openpgp mailing list (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-openpgp). Given the relative silence here, you might try that next.
