I have a different experience here and we are actually promoting the use
of smartcards because they better protect your private key and it is
easy to explain why users need to take care of their card than of a
bunch of files in the GnuPG home directory.

The standard user clicks right on a file icon, encrypts the file, and
sends it as attachment using his MUA.  That is an easy to teach and
understand workflow and does not require any special MUA.  Well, Outlook
users are more and more using the well integrated support we provide in
Gpg4win.
