Get WinPT or GPGShell, which are GUIs to GPG in Windows.  You don't say=20
what MUA (email program) you are using, but most should do this for=20
you.  If you have a problem, download Beonex Communicator and Enigmail=20
and it will do it all for you; you can even cache your passphrase for a=20
given period of time.
