It's a kludge, but I don't know how else to do email encryption with
webclients like gmail without it.  For my work email I always use a
client that can encrypt its own emails, but for home email (like
gmail), where I read it in multiple places, that becomes much harder
to use a thick client.


Jeff> For S/MIME with Google mail you can POP it then reply w/ digitally signing or encryption via a GUI client. Or you can try openssl with smime to do it (a la copy and paste).

>From the man page smime:

       Create a cleartext signed message:
        openssl smime -sign -in message.txt -text -out mail.msg \
               -signer mycert.pem
