No, it has access and there is a Windows Shell (in English).

No, IDEA is implemented in a special version or may be added as add-on but
only for *non-commercial* use.

The Shell provides a product called GPGTray ;-) doing exactly what Graham
wrote. It may be used with Ctrl-A for selecting all text, Ctrl-C for
copying it to Clipboard: the shell provides two hotkeys which I defined for
me as ctrl-alt-A for "sign and encrypt" and ctrl-alt-S for "clear-signing".
In my case the text in the editor is replaced by either the encrypted or
signed text of the clipboard

Well, everyone using PGP shouldn't have any problems to verify my messages
or decrypt them as I set some PGP-compatibility options (like HASH and
algorithm).

Confirmed and seconded!!! So, GPG is an alternative and will be even more
one if a plugin comes with TB!
