"With this solution only the sender has to have the extension installed to send an encrypted email." Hmm... but to read the mail, even the receiver needs to have the extension. I don't see much point in advertising "only sender needs the extension" bit.

I think the distinction is that the receiver need not have signed up or installed anything at the time the message is sent. That is, the sender need not worry if the receiver is currently using SecureGmail, they can send the message now and the receiver can install the extension later.
