How do I use a PGP/GNUPG key to encrypt/decrypt emails sent using MS Outlook 2010?

I understand the basics of PGP/GNUPG, and have a public/private key setup. I just want to know how to use this with Outlook 2010. Do I have to use some sort of Outlook pluggin which makes use of the keys, or do I need to encrypt the emails outside of Outlook and then copy and paste the encrypted text and images into Outlook later?

Best Answer

There's a free software project GPG4Win, which contains among GnuPG, some key management user interface and other tools an Outlook plugin named GpgOL. It offers native Outlook support for all versions from 2003 to 2013, including 2010 (as most Outlook Plugins, 32 bit only – but most Office installations will bit 32 bit anyway).

Originally sponsored by the German government, development is today continued by a community around it.
