While I heartily endorse Robert's suggestion; You specifically requested
Help with Outlook Express/Outlook.  For this application I suggest that
You install either GPGshell or WinPT.  Both will give You a Frontend
(GUI) for using GnuPG within any Compose Screen displayed on your PC.

I am a Fan of GPGshell which can easily be found with a Google Search.
I simply cannot recall the Link off the top of My head.  Both
applications will provide You with Key Management & Edit functions in
addition to the ability to Sign, Encrypt & Encrypt/Sign.  With GPGshell
the only real 'Secret' is that routine Signing is accomplished by using
the 'Clearsign' option from the Rt. Click context menu.

You haven't asked, Yet, but I am anticipating that your next Question
will be regarding a gpg.conf File.  Never hesitate to ask for
assistance.  The only 'Stupid' Question is the one not asked.

I am also going to send You an 'Invite' to the PGP-Basics Group where
many Answers & Advice are available 24/7/365.
