Some of our customers have asked for us to support GPG signed and encrypted email.
I wish more companies would do this.

I like how GPG is integrated into the Mac and you can highlight any text and hit a key chord and it will encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify right on the spot from within any application. Wish it were just as tightly integrated everywhere else.
It can be, there are a number of additional GUI frontends you can use in addition to the default ones (I'm assuming you're using GPGTools):
http://www.gnupg.org/related_software/frontends.en.html
For integrating with your email, I highly recommend Mozilla Thunderbird with the Enigmail add-on.
There's also a benefit in learning to use it on the command line because there are a lot of options which are not available any other way.
If you can track down a copy of PGP & GPG: Email for the Practical Paranoid you will find it very useful.

While the integration is really nice, for some reason it won't verify text. I can get it to verify files, but text in a file always gives me an error.To get around this, I first made a really simple shell script
Code:
#!/bin/sh
pbpaste | gpg --verify
However, I really liked having the verify command be a service, so I made a service with Automator. I installed gnupg with brew, so gpg is in /usr/local/bin/
The first action is "Run Shell Script" with Pass input: "to stdin"
Code:
/usr/local/bin/gpg --verify
if [ "$?" -eq 0 ]; then
echo 'Success! The signature is valid!'
else
echo 'ERROR! The signature IS NOT valid (or the public key could not found)!'
fi
The second step is "Run Applescript" because it's the easiest way to get a dialog box.
Code:
on run {input, parameters}
display dialog "" & input buttons {"OK"}
return input
end run
Now if only we could sign bbcode and have it still validate.

Since encrypted and signed was never part of the bounty, you don't need to pay me. But, if you still would like to, my donation address is in my sig, as always.

Bounty Closed. Thanks for the help everyone. I am at least marginally comfortable with using GPG now.
deusstultus you posted while I was updating the OP so drop me a BTC address and I will payout.

Indeed, that was a good confidence boost for both of us, much appreciated!
