I believe every single relatively popular client supports S/MIME out of box, and a lot of them support PGP/GPG.
Most casual users just don't know/care enough about their privacy up to the moment it is severely violated..
- Sapient 15y agoYou are probably right regarding email clients, I haven't actually used one since I switched to Gmail and Google Apps. I do count services like Gmail as email clients though, but I don't think any of them have S/MIME or PGP/GPG support out the box. Last time I tried sending a GPG encrypted email through Gmail on windows, there was no simple way of doing it.
- drdaeman 15y agoSuch support would require either client-side browser extension to do the crypto or giving your private key to webmail provider. I doubt there are a lot of people that would want to encrypt their messages, but still trust someone other with their keys.
