Thank you for the input.
Yes, that might be good alternative.

Yes, I'll be the sender and try to encourage them to use PGP in Windows.

I've configured in XFCE a "Custom Action" menu entry with name: 7-zip
7za a myfile.zip %N -tzip -mem=AES256 -mx9 -p123

So all they have to do is select the file they want to zip it up and
select the entry from the menu; it seems easy.

I'm trying to make it as simple as possible for the user.
