The main problem with crypto in web mail clients is that there is no standard 
crypto API in browsers (yet?). Meaning you need some kind of plugin or browser 
specific extensions that can access the local crypto facilities.
I guess the best thing web clients can currently do on their own is verify 
signatures.
