symmetric email encryption

[Hauke Laging]

Hello,

is there any OpenPGP mail client which supports symmetric encryption?

I think that would be a nice feature for recipients who don't have an 
asymmetric key (those 99%). Many new communication systems have a 
fallback option for symmetric encryption in case the preferred way is 
unavailable. And, quite important: It would not require serious 
development effort as this possibility is built-in with GnuPGP. Anyone 
using Linux (and a mail client with OpenPGP support) could use that 
directly. The others would just have to install e.g. Gpg4win and 
Enigmail but would not have to configure it.

Is there any reason *not* to support symmetric-only encryption in a mail 
client?
