+# Secure Mail for Windows
+
+So you are stuck on Windows, but would like to be able
+to exchange PGP/MIME encrypted e-mail?
+
+This is a brief guide to get you started!
+
+Here are the steps for setting up secure e-mail on Windows:
+
+ 1. Setup GNU Privacy Guard [[GPG]] (set up a private key)
+ 1. Configure [[Thunderbird]] for e-mail to use GPG
+
+Once you get a GPG key you will probably want to explore
+a variety of interesting applications beyond e-mail that take advantage
+of the "web-of-trust" that you can now join. Joining the web-of-trust
+by attending a "Key Signing Party" is beyond the scope of
+this tutorial.
+
+We're going to be using GPG with Thunderbird via the Enigmail
+extension.  For more detailed background on Enigmail see the
+[[Enigmail Quick Start Guide|http://enigmail.mozdev.org/documentation/quickstart.php.html]].
