For those who use webmail you can use GPG to encrypt the text of your email on your computer and then copy the encrypted text into the compose screen for the webmail. When you receive encrypted email you can copy the text into GPG and then it will decrypt it:

Those of you who use Outlook or similar for their email should look into switching to Thunderbird and integrating GPG into that with Enigmail: https://securityinabox.org/en/thuderbird_encryption

I have memories of attaching PGP signatures to my emails in undergrad. No one knew what the hell they were, and as no one used PGP themselves I couldn’t encrypt anything anyways. Perhaps now people will start to take a bigger interest in this and start using encryption software like GPG (a free, open source version of PGP). Why make it easy for these largely unaccountable agencies to snoop your stuff?
