Small nitpick, but only PGP (probably a better alternative is gpg)
really deals with email encryption. Truecrypt is for files and FDE. I
mean, you could attach encrypted text messages to an email, but then
you'd need a key derivation and sharing schedule, which would need an
out of band communication.

If anyone reads German,
http://www.openpgp-schulungen.de/kurzinfo/openpgp-smime/ would be a
decent overview of the use scenarios between gpg and s/mime. Google
translate gives a good translation as well, from what I glanced between
them.

As for deployment, Dan Gillmore seems to feel that
https://we.riseup.net/debian/openpgp-best-practices gives an decent best
practice guide.
