I'm not an expert, but there is a work around I think will work. You can store your keys on a flash drive... and possibly the entire OS for that matter. If you do this, you have no problems.
Alternatively, you can encrypt a document and send it as an attachment. Your fellow international spy types can do the same. With this method, you don't even need full gpg/email integration... and you don't have to worry about inline versus mime encryption.
