The stats on my server show that about 1.5% to 2% are encrypted/signed messages. Of that, about 85% are decryption/verify events. My results are obviously going to be more than the population at-large because I'm running an encryption server, but anecdotally, almost all of those are OpenPGP or S/MIME signature verifications.
