Hi Joe,

S/MIME is the solution supported by most email software out of the box. 
Any Active Directory domain may have a local Certification Authority  to 
be used within it to provide users with S/MIME certificates. And one can 
always request a free cert from a well know root CA: https://www.thawte.com/

I use both PGP and S/MIME way, but I am sure that PGP is more personal 
approach, while S/MIME is more business-oriented.

Hope this helps.
