Playing around with PGP

I got bored yesterday so I saw that Thunderbird had an available PGP add-on called Enigmail. It was easy to set up and use. I like some of the features such as publishing public keys to a pgp server. I wounder if PGP would become more popular if many of the web-based email (gmail, homtail etc) included PGP features on the web interface as most users are unaware of it in spite of it being available for quite some time.

I was looking for information for setting up a PGP server for the heck of it but information appears sparse on the subject.

A Gmail pgp support app was killed a little while ago. Right before I got to play with it too

What are you using for PGP support? I have played with gnupg at work and I am thinking about using it at home as well.

I looked at it some time ago, I haven't decided to play around with it. How does PGP work with people who don't use encryption software? Looks like FireGPG has been discontinued.

Cool. Are you using it just for mail? We use it to sign some code at work as well as other things. Mostly things that we can afford not to use our other product on.
