If you're using a Mac, the excellent MailMate mail client supports GnuPG natively.

I can't speak to any shortcomings in its PGP support, as it's not something I personally use, but I've been using it as a MacMail/Thunderbird replacement since last September and have been quite satisfied.

This looks great but it is closed source. Perhaps that will change with his crowd finding? Until it becomes OSS there is no way I can use it

Does being OSS actually matter for this app? It would still be running on a proprietary OS, and you won't be personally inspecting the code closely enough to know that it's secure anyway.

If you were concerned about what was being sent and to where, you would probably be better off to capture all traffic originating from your computer and verify that nothing extra is being sent, and that the destination is appropriate. Whether it was sent by open or closed source software is utterly irrelevant
