For those of us who have no fucking clue what you're talking about, could you do an encryption post for dummies?
Alright, if I have time this weekend, I'll write up an introduction to setting up a secure, encrypted email system. My favorite uses a Gmail account, the Thunderbird email client, and gpg4win to encrypt.
Gmail forces all of their email traffic over secure, encrypted transmissions (at least that's what they claim), and adding GPG encryption is simply the icing on the cake.

I'll have to post a public key.
Hmmmm, could be, although I made sure not to also sign the text. I'll dig around in the interface and crap and see what I'm not doing right. Initially, it looks like it won't simply do a symmetrical encryption....at least right now.
