It would be far cleaner if it was more self-contained (e.g., included GPG inside its installation bundle), and then let the user pick an alternative OpenPGP installation in the preferences.
My company's internal mail goes through gmail so I decided after recent news to setup GPGmail and s/mime. I identified a couple of usability issues, which where fixed. I'd say all in all its very good. Regardless if you believe or care about the NSA issues, simply the idea of routing clear text email through mail exchanges, and advertisers should give you enough reason to follow the few steps it requires to generate…
S/MIME is also built in to (almost) every thick MUA. it works on iOS out of the box, it works in outlook, thunderbird, mail.app and mutt out of the box.
once you generate a S/MIME cert through a big provider, none of the other big providers will give you an e-mail cert for the email issued by the other big provider (probably, still trusting them to do the right thing).
Email encryption is a good start! Personally, I think, the user is best served with the "darknet" [0] approach. It's unfortunate that term "darknet" leads a big chunk of the general public to believe it's something "dirty", "illegal" or otherwise undesirable or even dangerous, which doesn't help its cause. So help the Internet out and spread the word: [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darknet_%28file_sharing%29 RetroS…

Poke me when a popular web email service implements GPG.

Just two nitpicks: You can sign email with GPG even if others aren’t using it (of course it will be of little value to them until they, possibly at a later date, verified your key), and it is supported on Android by K-9, I believe.

you can revoke your S/MIME key from a CA (you just need to remember the revocation password you gave them) S/MIME is also built in to (almost) every thick MUA. it works on iOS out of the box, it works in outlook, thunderbird, mail.app and mutt out of the box. once you generate a S/MIME cert through a big provider, none of the other big providers will give you an e-mail cert for the email issued by the other big provi…

This is just MacOS nonsense. It plays in the Valley and at the mall, and nowhere else. The only reason it is on the front page of Hacker News is that we can't see outside our own event horizon. Poke me when a popular web email service implements GPG.
