Subject: Email encryption with S/MIME or OpenPGP?

Hi

At the moment I am using OpenPGP to sign and encrypt my emails, but
this does not work easily on my iPhone (please tell me otherwise if it
does?).

But the iPhone implements S/MIME encryption. Now what are the advantages
of using each as a standard signing / encryption? Which one is better /
safer? I have OpenPGP working via gnus on a Mac and am happy with it. 

So - what are others using and why? Should I use S/MIME instead?

Cheers,

Rainer
