I guess it makes sense that most of the stuff I read while trying to do this sounds really paranoid... I'm not so paranoid, but I want to be able to send messages with "Pretty Good Privacy" if I need to...

Don't know what I am talking about? The GnuPG Handbook might clear some stuff up...

Here are some useful links:
