In previous years I've had GPG/PGP configured, but not had anyone to write to or anything to write about. We need entry-level e-mail clients to have GPG/PGP built in. Your post highlights the need to select a client which is why GPG/PGP has a niche user-base who send dull e-mail to Internet Celebrities who happen to share public keys. I mean my parents e-mail client, which would naturally be the default for their operating system (yes, Windows Live Mail), should have in-built GPG/PGP capability and the address book should auto encrypt any messages to me with the public key in my "contact" info, and decrypt any from me with their private key which is created and stored without them even realizing (as SSH does). It's hard to select an e-mail client anyway, but convincing my parents to select an e-mail client and/or plug-in, isn't going to happen. I've been puzzled why fat clients traditionally have S/MIME built in, but certificates are complex to obtain, and don't have GPG/PGP with easy to create keys.
