It depends what your requirements are.  Must the solution be at the
client level (which ensures end-to-end encryption, but can be a
nightmare to support) or is your requirement to encrypted messages
across the Internet cloud (in which case a gateway encryption solution
would work)?

For clients, PGP/GPG is pretty much the standard.  If gateway-to-gateway
encryption will satisfy your requirements, there are several vendors out
there who offer gateway solutions.  They would be a lot less work to
setup and support.  CipherTrust (www.ciphertrust.com) offers a secure
gateway solutions that does S/MIME, PGP, and TLS for gateway to gateway
encryption.  It also has a https staging server to hold e-mail which
couldn't be sent securely, so the recipient can log in and view the
e-mail over an encrypted connection.  Several other vendors have
functionally similar products.
