There is a small add-in for Pine called pgp4pine that works great. It does
an auto-decrypt/verify on incoming messages, displays the result in Pine
as you would normally expect, and still leaves the message in its original
form in your mailbox. Mutt has a built-in ability to use GPG.

For Windows users, there is the GNU Privacy Assistant (GPA) that makes it
easy to use GPG with Windows mail clients. Details are available at the
GPG home page <http://www.gnupg.org/>.
