If you want to work around your e-mail client, how about an encrypted
attachment?
As I responded to Stephen, I think copy and pasting is more robust.
If you're still not convinced, then replace command line use of gpg
with GPA (the GNU Privacy Assistant). GPA is a simple GUI that allows
a user to write a message in a notepad-like editor, press encrypt and
then copy and paste the message. As I understand it, there are some
legitimately scared people who rely on GPA to prevent mistakes.
Complicating the work flow by requiring them to save to disk and then
load a file would be bad for them.
