In some cultures I hope (and guess) that it will fly.

I wonder what could be done (in your local culture but also in other 
environments) to make reading encrypted emails better.
E.g. have your users tried Mailvelope? 
https://mailvelope.com/en/

Somehow this shows how local and good native email clients could be better.
As a long term email user a good email client makes me more productive
and those clients can usually deal with encrypted email nicely
(so it is not a hump at all, just a bit of setup once every few years).

How could be get there for more people?
