[Enigmail] question regarding encryption and mailing lists

My name is Brandon Blackmoor. I have been playing with encryption for
nearly two decades, primarily using PGP and its offshoots. I gave up on
it many times, because it was just too much trouble to use, and it
requires both the sender and the recipient to use it.

After many years, I stumbled across Enigmail earlier today, and I have
to say I am utterly amazed. This makes email encryption absolutely
painless! This is incredible! I plan to start anew, trying to coax my
friends and family into adopting it.

However, I have a few practical questions. If there are links which
provide the answers, feel to reply with the link rather than repeating
what has been said before. I am more than willing to read. Also, feel
free to assume that I have a basic knowledge of how public-key
cryptography works, but if you choose to explain a simple concept, I
will not be offended.

1) How do people handle mailing lists, such as this one? Is it feasible
to encrypt messages sent to a mailing list?

2) How do people handle web-based email? Is it feasible to use email
encryption when one typically checks one's mail via a web site?

Thank you for your time, and for this wonderful piece of software.
