Not quite true, the PGP can be done in the browser, so making it still secure with webmail. Pretty sure there are, or at least have been, plugins for popular browsers to let you encrypt textfields.

There's still a plugin called FireGPG floating around, occasionally updated by volunteers after its creator abandoned the project.
In addition I think the GPG helper apps on most operating systems allow you to encrypt the contents of the clipboard so you can always compost the text somewhere else, encrypt it, and paste it into the browser.

If only there was a technology that permitted people to run things in their browsers, and store data there without sending it to the web server!
