Noticed that "S/MIME" also includes the email part, 
which I don't think GnuPG fully provides.

Cryptography is complicated enough, so we should try to be as clear as we can.
To suggest something better is hard, some thoughts and ideas: 
Mentioning "S/MIME" is good as this is a well known keyword for the open 
standard (beside OpenPGP) that GnuPG is used for. While "Cryptographic 
Message Syntax (CMS)" would be technical more on a similiar level like 
OpenPGP, it is less known and such harder to understand.

What about
"The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG, GPG) provides a complete and free engine
 to implement email and file cryptography by OpenPGP and S/MIME standards."

Or maybe
"The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG, GPG) is a complete and free implementation
 of the OpenPGP and CMS standards needed for OpenPGP/- or S/MIME mails."

or
"The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG, GPG) is a complete and free implementation
 of the OpenPGP and CMS standards. CMS is needed for S/MIME mails."

Best Regards,
Bernhard
ps.: Sendign this to -devel@ because I think it is a concern for people 
producing GnuPG.
