I don't think so. The vast majority[1] of the public use Google Mail / Outlook.com[2] / Yahoo mail, and for those to offer _end to end_ GPG encryption, the user would need to have their private key with them, as well as their friends public keys. That would be a major hurdle for the average user to overcome, and I can't see that this solution will do that. -- Simon [1] not based on any scientific research, just seeing the number of times these appear as my friends e-mail addresses (or people using Google Apps for their domain) [2] including hotmail, live.com, and various other Microsoft properties.
