[clue] gpg question

Also, this might be a stupid question, but my google-fu has failed me for
the time being, I can't help but wonder if I'm missing something obvious.
Maybe a command flag somewhere in the man files I'm not seeing.

I can't help but notice that gpg -e leaves behind a copy of the original
file.  Kinda defeats the purpose for example if you're wanting to use it on
a laptop to cover your tracks.  In case the laptop gets lost or stolen.
You could always just remove the file after you encrypt it, but if we're
talking about something you go into more then once, that could get
redundant pretty quick.

Concerning gpg - is there an efficient way to remove the original after you
encrypt?

So I'm curious.  I heard that Thunderbird is discontinuing development, and
I was curious if the cluebies can recommend their preferred client?   To my
mind the problem with webclients is the lack of encryption/signing options
Now, I figure if Thunderbird becomes unusable, there's always evolution,
but I thought I'd ask the mailing list if they're comfortable recommending
other clients?
