The trouble with encrypting email is that the person on the other end has to be able to decrypt it. Further, Web clients such as GMail don’t typically support encrypted email. (Many do, however, support using an offline email client such as Outlook, which can be configured to do encryption.)

Can’t you encrypt emails in raw text? nothing needs to support anything, it’s just raw text that looks like alphabet soup without the key.

Also, anyone you’d be sending Important Shit to should have the damn key. I can count a zillion different ways to get ahold of good friends of mine via the internet to send a key. half a dozen social networking sites, email, AIM, MSN, forums…
