Slightly off-topic, but there’s this thing called keybase.io that is doing what feels like a pretty good job to me of wrapping up GPG in a palatable UI (web & command line) with a key directory so that while I, for example, have never taken the trouble to install E2E encryption in my mail, I can see using keybase to encrypt particularly sensitive stuff. Don’t know if they’ve got just the right set of features, but it feels like there’s an 80/20 point lurking out there somewhere. My blog on the subject is (I hope) an OK introduction: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2014/03/19/Keybase
