Depends on your mail client, mostly. KMail, Evolution, mutt - most of
these come preconfigured to do that; you just have to tell them what your
specific keyid is, and where the gpg program is. But most major mail
clients have gpg hooks built in.

Not using Netscape/Mozilla mail, I don't know that it does, but I wouldn't
be surprised.

If you use one of the free webmail services, like Yahoo or MSN or
whatever, then you have to compose your mail using the editor of your
choice; save that msg as a file; do the encrypting as the other responses
indicate; then send THAT. And you'd only be using the webmail service to
send, not compose or read, the encrypted mail.
