send anonymously an encrypted email

install GnuPG
import the public PGP key of the recipient name@address
$> gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --search-key name@address
create the document you'd like to send, eg.:
$> echo "This is a private message." > cleartext_file
encrypt cleartext_file into output_file
$> gpg --output output_file --encrypt --armor --recipient name@address cleartext_file
now either (from easy to complex)
- use the Tor browser bundle
- use the anonymous system Tails within a virtual machine
- boot the live CD/DVD of Tails
and point from that a web browser to AnonyMouse
copy+paste the content of output_file into the Message: field
put name@address into To:, choose an Subject: and press "Send"

Hint: If you like to get a reply, use an AnonBox email address and fill in the Reply-To: field in the step 7 too.
