Hi, I managed to get a certificate and use it with Mail, but a friend of mine uses GnuPG to sign his messages. Is it possible to import a public PGP key to my keychain so I can send him encrypted messages? Or does it only work with certificates like Thawte's?

  You can download and install GPGMail which incorporated GPG into Apple's Mail.app quite nicely:

  Hi !
  
  Although PGP and S/MIME are both very effective systems, I am afraid that you would need to rely on a common technology to exchange certificates.
  
  Since S/MIME certificates can be imported in the Keychain so easily, your friend may want to get one too from the CA of his choice.
  
  Let me know if this helps !
