Can MailMate detect if GPG is available / installed? If so, then perhaps it should do that on first run. If it's installed, default for this pref is ON. If it's not installed, default is off.

If it's at all possible, app messages / banners should also take into consideration whether GPG is installed. If it's not, the banner should say that, rather than something about an email message it's impossible for MailMate to process because of the missing tool.
