Anything gpg takes in as input (files, plaintext, whatever) it just happily signs and/or encrypts. If you are emailing the output directly (copy paste) you should "--armor" the output, to prevent mailers destroying your "text." OTOH, you could just 'attach' the file (binary, ascii armored, or otherwise) as a regular email attachment and send it that way. As others have said, encrypting mail has been made trivially easy with tools such as Kmail and Enigmail. When you desire to encrypt a file (say a JPEG, or PDF), you may probably need to throw in some commands on a command-line interface.
