I learned a long time ago not to try and impose my preferences on other
computer users.

I think you have some hidden assumptions about what software is used
here? Don't both S/MIME and PGP use external tools in Gnus?

Again, you must be assuming something about the software being used -
Gnus has built in support for both, right?

This seems to be a negative for S/MIME: it is easy to generate a PGP
key. How do you generate an S/MIME certificate?

I have never received or sent an S/MIME message, so it's hard to judge
this one. Does it mean that every S/MIME message includes the public key
of the sender? What prevents you from doing that with PGP-signed messages?
I've set up Gnus/GnuPG to automatically fetch keys for every person I
see a signature from, so there is nothing manual for me to do here.
