well that's fair, but sounds more like a email client issue than an actual issue with gpg/pgp. My client shows pretty clearly when it gets encrypted. But maybe I am oblivious.

I agree that it's an email problem, which is why I wrote a whole article about why email can't be made secure with any reasonable client. But email is overwhelmingly the messaging channel PGP users use; in fact, it's a common-cited reason why people continue to use PGP (because it allows them to encrypt email).
