I personally use premail; it's a front end to pgp (*not* gpg) which can
automagically encrypt, sign, or decrypt outgoing and incoming email.

Unfortunately, premail has long since gone unsupported (but I think
there's a debian package for it still).  Luckily, it continues to work.
I'm using it with pgp 6.x for Linux.

You have to install it *as* /usr/sbin/sendmail to get evolution to call
it, unless you patch evolution.  But that works fine; premail expects
people might do that.  (You install the real sendmail as something else,
like /usr/sbin/sendmail.real, and tell premail where to find it.)
