I'll be sure to check this out! I've found an introduction also on the
enigmail site that is quite useful and covers everything in quite a
straight forward manner. The URL of the page, if anyone is interested is

Thanks to your instructions I've exported my key to a keyserver so now
that should be available for everyone! I think your advice about
learning on the command line is good too - often I've found that the
command line is also quicker than using a gui, at least if you know the
commands to begin with!

Thanks for everyone's replies! Hopefully my mail will be a little more
secure now :-) Looking forward to trying out different mail clients too!
