There's a Firefox plug-in that'll do that for you.  Can't remember the
name right now, and I don't have time to search for it, but it adds
buttons to the GMail interface to sign and/or encrypt outgoing mails,
and to verify the signature on incoming mails.  (I presume it'll also
decrypt incoming mails, but I'm not sure.)  It works via a local
installation of gpg, so you never lose control of your private keys.
