there is a study, "Why Johnny Can't Encrypt" - https://www.usenix.org/legacy/events/sec99/full_papers/whitten/whitten_html/index.html

this outlines a number of usability failures in email encryption using PGP/GPG tools.

sure, things are a little better now. but core deficiencies remain. for this reason, i have avoided email encryption for years now, preferring end-to-end encrypted messaging systems instead.

these have better idioms around privacy, and are more intuitive for less technical users.

if you used a protonmail account, we would have an additional layer of authentication and privacy between us, however :)
