Via bash, you can just do:
echo "test text" | gpg -a -r 0x28bcb3e3 -e

That will output an ASCII armoured block to STDOUT - in this case, the
screen. You can pipe this to another command or to a file.

echo "test text" | gpg -a -r 0x28bcb3e3 -e | mail user
echo "test text" | gpg -a -r 0x28bcb3e3 -e > newfile
echo "test text" | gpg -a -r 0x28bcb3e3 -e >> appendedfile

Replace echo "" with the command/script that generates the output to be
encrypted. Anything the GnuPG can encrypt will do fine.
