I just recently switched over to Tails liveusbAnd trying to figure out encryption from there :-\I agree that gpg4usb is the one to go for but if you insist on using gpg4win, here's a basic starter's guide I wrote to help get you started. :)1. Copy the Public Key of the person you want to send a message to.2. Open a text editor, such as Notepad, and paste the Public Key. Name the file and save it to your desired location on your PC.3. Open GPA (Gpg4win), click IMPORT, locate the file you just saved with the Public Key in it, and double click it. It will then show up in KEY MANAGER where it is stored for future use along with any other Public Keys you wish to keep.4. Then click on CLIPBOARD, the 2nd icon in from the right at the top of the page. Type the message you wish to send to the recipient and then click ENCRYPT. Click on the Public Key of the person your sending the message to (should now be highlighted), then click OK at the bottom.5. Then copy the encrypted message and paste it in a PM to the recipient and send it.6. REMEMBER - Include your Own Public Key in this message if you wish to receive an encrypted response from the recipient. You can find this by RIGHT-CLICKING your key in KEY MANAGER, then copy/pasting it. :)Ya, I've practiced sending encrypted messages for gpg4win. and I can do that no problem. It's just that I recently switched over to Tails, and am having difficulty using the preinstalled pgp it comes with...Tails has a rather elegant setup when it comes to using GPG. In Tails, there is a editor plugin which can be used to encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify the contents of the document being edited. Just use gedit to compose your message, and then select encrypt/decrypt/sign from the edit menu. Naturally, to use GPG in Tails, you will have to have copied your PGP keyrings to the .gnupg directory, which is a sub-directory of amnesia.
