I'm not familiar with GPG, Do you use it with all of your correspondence, or does the receiving person need a key? It also encrypts your local files within thunderbird?
I do not use it with all of my correspondence, though that would be ideal. I do rely on it heavily for authentication purposes. The OS I use (Ubuntu) makes use of GPG keys to authenticate trusted software repositories. I also use GPG to encrypt any personal files placed on portable media like thumb drives, in case I should lose them in transit.
Yes, GPG is dependent on the public and private key method.

I see its very handy on thumb drives. I'll look into a system that might work well with Windows.
