MS promises S/MIME support in their next release, which would be Dec or Mar or Jun or... Currently, Outlook Web Access doesn't "know" S/MIME, so certificate use is not possible. It is possible to read a signed email and to retrieve the attachment, but it requires Notepad or reconfig of the app to which the PKCS #7 is associated. Not hard. Encrypted emails are unreadable period.

This is called PGP and S/MIME. Both are valid IETF RFC.
From an industry point of view, S/MIME seems to be the one that will
survive in the long run, because it is implemented in nearly all mail clients and follows the certificates used in SSL/TLS which is widely adopted (IPSec to name only one).
However, none of them is widely implemented for e-mail purposes because
of problems to build a global PKI (in short). I still haven't found a
company that will give/sell me a certificate that allows me to sign my
organisational e-mails certificates. ISOC is working on it...
Cheers.
