Novice seeks guidance

All,

I am a novice to the secure communications world. I enjoy reading
these discussions and using gpg. Please don't flame me for not
reading all the available docs, but if you have time can you
answer a couple of questions or direct me to the answers?

1)	I am at a company where everyone uses Outlook (makes me
	gag to say it), and I'm trying to woo them into using
	digital signatures. Mostly, they just complain about the
	'junk' attached to my email. Can you direct me to Windows
	resources?

2)	All the keyservers I find, and everyone working on gpg
	are outside the US. I am wondering if this has to do with
	happenstance or the generally stupid US attitude toward
	cryptography? 

	Also, checking for keys seems slow for pine. Quite possibly
	due to the network latency of making an overseas connection.
	Any keyservers you know of in the US...any keyserver-servers?

3)	The only signed messages I get are from you guys and from
	CERT (and a couple of others). Gpg-newsgroup members must
	have public keys on the servers (I know mine propogated through
	several)...so why do I always get the "Good, but unverifiable
	signature" message?

Thanks a lot. I hope your weather is as nice as it is here in 
sunny California!!
