I believe there are two things for S/MIME to be used as a standard. It
must be available on Unix mail programs (elm, pine, mailtool, whatever) or
even better as a command-line utility. It must be available as a public
domain package like PGP is.
And what is more important: it must come from free world and from USA.
People outside US will never use weak easily breakable crypto programs,
meaning that Netscape and Microsoft and PGP can just forget their
software.
