I find your statement regarding S/MIME erroneous; however, we can just
agree to disagree on that matter. Neither one of us will ever win the
argument.

My bank and credit card company, sends me a monthly link to a secure
URL that affords me the opportunity to view my statements. I also have
the option of downloading in PDF, CSV or MS Excel format my statement.
I have never received a plain email statement detailing my banking
records.

Unless I am seriously misreading this thread, I am not sure what
advantage either PGP or S/MIME would afford.
