you might want to sign up for the pgp-basics list. They are a wonderful group of people that will bend over backwards to help you learn how to sign & encrypt messages.

Okay Paul, but why should I encrypt.
Would you send *all* your letters as postcards, without envelope, open to read for anyone? If yes, then you do not need encryption, and Big Brother loves you. Or would you use a closed envelope from time to time? If yes, why? There's your answer! Be aware that all emails you send unencrypted are like open postcards, everybody can read them.
