Thank you Artemis3, do you mind if I send you a PM?

I'm looking for a utility which will allow me to send a PGP message here in PM.  All those links I posted were email clients.  :/

I have no issue creating a permanent VM with Linux, but I'm too old of a dog to abandon Windows.

Does anyone have any experience with these clients?  I figured it's about time I encrypt my communications before some troll steals my identity.

Thanks for any info!

So you want to secure your communications but still give them the keys at the endpoint?
You have to drop windows for anything "secure". Else you can assume malware of the week would simply siphon out your password to decrypt your communications.

In fact your question would be great if you replaced "Windows" with Linux, or Freebsd or something decent.

Thunderbird had Enigmail, but the way things are going for Thunderbird it might not be worth recommending it anymore. Perhaps when a fork without ads inevitably comes out (or if they drop their plan).

Oh, did i mention that things that don't provide the source code have zero security credibility? Take that in consideration when choosing software, they might bring backdoors, bombs, and what not, you can never tell since you can't audit it. Which is why, windows, is a no-no. Of course windows it not alone, this is a fact in general. If you want security, go with Free and Open Source software.
