Actually, even PGP is not fine for high security scenarios. For example, it doesn't encrypt headers, including the subject line, which I would say is just as important as an email's body.

Good point.

S/MIME might also have some dependencies on PKI that in some scenarios could make it unsuitable for high security scenarios?
