new with GPG

I got my free Windows PGP from
http://www.pgp.com/products/freeware.html .  The advantage over GnuPG
is that it doesn't require the installation of a separate front-end
component, and I found it was a good way to get started, personally.
(Since then I've also installed and used GnuPG, both on Windows and
Linux.)

The PDF manual that comes with it is pretty good, but I wish it would
give more emphasis to the HotKeys, which I've found is the most
convenient way to use it, since they allow you to
encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify in any application, without a plugin. I
do 99% of my stuff with the HotKeys (or the right-click PGP context
menu that gets added to Windows Explorer).  I almost never use the
PGPMail tool, which the manual focuses on.  It took me a while to
clue into using PGP that way, though.

Install it and feel free to email me with any questions.   I've
talked people through it a few times.

Could you please give us more details or point us to some sites about
running Outlook with GPG or PGP or something else free?  Windows
users need to be supported.
Thank you.
