The best place to look first would be the GNU PGP website
http://www.gnupg.org And they have a list of plugins/frontends (
http://www.gnupg.org/frontends.html) I have personally used pgp4pine
(unix-pine), EudoraGPG (Eudora - Windows), GPGOE (Outlook Express -
Windows), and Gdata's plugin (Outlook - Windows). I have found each of
those frontends very useful, very easy to use. This does however,
require you to setup and install GnuPG the commandline version, but
requires no command line operations.

I find GnuPG a very good alternative to the commercial and dead PGP.
The frontends don't have any sort of commercial support (that I know of)
if you're looking for that.

Thanks

Mike
