Well, IMO enigmail does a somewaht resonable job for single-uid keys, since users can in the GUI right-click and select to sign a key (and the GUI lets them select the level of verification using radio boxes selecting from textual descriptions, instead of asking for a number, like pius does). And then they can right-click and select to send the public key. This is not optimal, as it requires two steps, and requires filling in the receivers email address manually. While I don't use Windows, AFAIK, this works the same on Windows as on other systems. It only requires mail to be configured in the mail client (which every user that runs a mail client has done), as opposed to the OS level. Philipp
