No. Why? Because we're talking about a small elite group of people who use encryption. Sure, everyone uses it in the background, through forms such as ssl, but when it comes to email, not enough people use it. And my theory is that privacy is simply of no concern for most email users. If there was a client that offered end to end RSA, that worked as well as what people presently have, people might use it, but you'd still have to convince them to change to the new client. At the moment it's just not easy enough for non tech people. Not to mention the problems with key management...
