You will need to have some way of transferring files between Windows and
your Linux filesystems (FAT32/NTFS and ext2/3), and some way of

SeaMonkey is a branch of Mozilla, right? You will need Enigmail -
http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ should have it...

GPGshell should give you context menus in Explorer.
