In Linux you should have GPG installed by deafult; in Windows you will need to go download gpg4win and install it
once you have gpg in your system then get the Thunderbird e/mail client. again, in Linux (Ubuntu, or Mint at least ) -- Thunderbird will already be present. In Windows, you have to go download it and install it. setup and test your e/mail account. add your buddy to your address book Next you need to add the ENIGMAIL plug-in to Thunderbird . In Linux/Mint(15) I had to download the plug-in and install it manually; Windows or Ubuntu installed from the get -add-ons menu Next you need to generate a key-pair . use the KeyManagement option of Thunderbird from the OpenPGP drop-down Next you need to use key-management from Thunderbird to import the key that your buddy sent you now you can send a message to your buddy. after you have the message ready click the OpenPGP pull-down and check encrypt,sign,use pgp-mime, and ignore recipient rules the e/mail address you send to needs to match the e/mail address he has on his key
