S/MIME and PGP are things that exist.
Arguably the part that needs "fixing" is:
a) improving S/MIME certificate issuance process and multi-device setup.
b) supporting (or enabling by default) S/MIME in Email clients.
PGP is more popular with technical users, but for most people I think S/MIME is a more appropriate model - we already trust CA's for HTTPS, and for the majority of people that is a better solution, as clients can then simply verify the message against an X500 certificate chain rather than needing to know how to fetch PGP keys and where to fetch them from.
