I have been using PGP freeware for years, so when we needed to provide
some users e-mail and file encryption at my work it seemed like the
correct software to recommend. The new PGP 8.0.2 turns out to be a
nightmare to install, use, and especially get support for. Does anyone
know of an alternative to PGP that is interoperable with PGP keys, and
is easy for non-tech persons to use with e-mail?

GPG with the WinPT front end, and possibly a plug-in depending on your email client.
