I agree but try this out, it's as close as I could replicate the
experience of talking someone through it.

https://p2pu.org/en/groups/encrypt-and-sign-your-email/

other version as 'work book on http://flossmanuals.net/thunderbird-workbook/

The key is that you get a chance to download and send an email to a real
human (me) and get a reply saying it worked.

It could certainly be improved with comments from people on this list
(probably on the comments section rather than on this list)
An automated version ala code academy surely isn't beyond the realms of
possibility.

A agree with the comments that indicate that it is now tactical to
insist on encryption. I think we can encourage partner organisation to
insist that the their employees encrypt certain types of email. When
it's just 'part of the job' then people will do it.

thanks
Mick
