Pitching it as a chicken and egg problem is a bit absurd when a user 
hands you an egg.

Autocrypt is just a MIME header so clients that don't understand it will 
ignore it. The failure case is handled by the specification and so 
there's no real inter-operability problem here.

Outlook has never taken up PGP - because S/MIME has always been pitched 
as the corporate secure email solution. But that shouldn't stop everyone 
else deploying it (and thus encouraging them to support it anyway).

I'm busy with other projects unfortunately or I'd find the time to help 
Evolution implement it.
