I want to see something that is easy for my parents to use. I
use<br class="gmail_msg">
Thunderbird for my desk client (K9 for my phone client but I
don't<br class="gmail_msg">
normally read email on the phone, just send) and I already
have GPG<br class="gmail_msg">
integration in Thunderbird via Enigmail. However, it's a bit
fiddly so<br class="gmail_msg">
I need something that is a little easier. I've been trying to
convince<br class="gmail_msg">
my parents to switch from solely using webmail to Thunderbird
or some<br class="gmail_msg">
other local client and then use PGP for anything really
important.<br class="gmail_msg">
