  I don't know if outlook supports gpg, but if not, I would install
gpgshell, a GUI for gpg, I would write the messages in outlook or
notepad, copy the text to the clipboard, use gpgtray (a tool from
gpgshell) to encrypt the clipboard content, and paste it into the
message I am writting. You can encrypt files too, using gpgtools, before
attaching them to the email message. But probably there is a better way
to do it...

  If the client was outlook express, I would recommend to replace it
with mozilla thunderbid with enigmail addon, but it is not the case...
