Off-The-Record Email

I'm a user of Pidgin with the off-the-record plugin:

Is there a way to be able to have off-the-record email conversations
with GPG technology? It would definitely be a terrific thing. Email is
traditionally supposed to mirror paper mail and paper mail is usually
not thought of as being off-the-record, so I guess that's probably why
no one really thinks about it.

But if the technology exists, it would be fantastic to have OTR email
conversations every now and then.

I came across some interesting articles and papers worth checking
out:

but nothing out there for users to be able to use.
