Did you try once to convince computer how shall I say illiterate to use
encryption?

Here is short table to show why it is much *easier* to use S/MIME for
such people.


| operations                 | S/MIME                     | PGP             |
|----------------------------+----------------------------+-----------------|
| Inst of software           | no; included               | yes             |
| Installation of plugin     | no; included               | yes             |
| generation of keypair      | no; ask for a certificate  | yes             |
