GnuPG's S/MIME implementation was developed as part of the Aegypten project [1]. It is used in KMail and probably also in Mutt (but I'm not sure about the latter). The S/MIME implementation in KMail (via gpgme/gpgsm) is the only Free Software implementation of S/MIME that has passed the Sphinx interoperability tests of the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) [2].
