I've just spent a few minutes playing, and ..

 1) couldn't figure out Enigform -- it kept saying that my passphrase
had been cleared, and didn't do anything else

 2) did get FireGPG to work in gmail - it's not too bad, but not as nice
as enigmail in thunderbird because it doesn't suppress display of the
"BEGIN..Message" and "BEGIN/END..SIGNATURE" parts. It does add some good
buttons in the bottom border of the compose window: Sign, Sign and Send,
and so on. Verify of received messages needed me to select the whole
block including BEGIN..MESSAGE thru  "END..SIG" --  a bit klunky, eh?

I would like to know what the Windows people do in <whatever> clients
and in webmail, so I can recommend tools to let them use gpg stuff with
me. Where I have some influence, maybe just suggesting thunderbird for
windows, I suppose.

I wonder what fraction of people use webmail -- Overall? *nix/mac? Winx?
