I love the concept of PGP and how well it seems to be integrated. I also don't know a single person who uses it or a provider/software capable of decrypting it. I think that's the biggest issue with PGP. Short of asking someone directly, you don't know if they'd be able to receive a PGP encrypted email, so you wont send one.
The whole point of PGP is to actually communicate (out of band) with the party you want to sent mail to and receive his public key.
It's no big deal if you really need to send a private message.
