At some point, people must step away from thinking of email encryption as an end-to-end or user-to-user solution and simply treat the OS as a decryption interface, a window onto encrypted lumps of noise which can network itself to other encrypted lumps of noise. Part of installing an OS would involve generating a key pair rather than having to understand what that means or implementing it in a separate way. Implementations like TAILS already approach this but they still require a modicum of understanding.
