Well, IMO enigmail does a somewaht resonable job for single-uid keys,
since users can in the GUI right-click and select to sign a key (and the
GUI lets them select the level of verification using radio boxes
selecting from textual descriptions, instead of asking for a number,
like pius does). And then they can right-click and select to send the
public key.
This is not optimal, as it requires two steps, and requires filling in
the receivers email address manually. While I don't use Windows, AFAIK,
this works the same on Windows as on other systems. It only requires
mail to be configured in the mail client (which every user that runs a
mail client has done), as opposed to the OS level.
