I recall reading at least one study of learning PGP and its UI.
I have had the chance to observe half a dozen (albeit, smarter
than normal) others' (mostly engineers) learning curves.
All are using PGP 7.03 and Eudora 3.05.
We are not using public key servers.
Mistakes include:

Attorney General John Ashcroft is visiting an elementary school.
