Littler-known fact: if you are serious about protecting that message, then web based email can't really do it.

So long as the server has access to your plaintext as you compose it, the security is compromised and a third party has it. And then if the recipient views the plaintext from a browser...

If you want the email to be secret, it must be in it's encrypted form before the browser even knows about it ... but at that point, why not just use a different, well vetted client program for email?
