How did you try to send it? Did you or did you not select the "encrypt this message" option? If so, do you have the required S/MIME certificate for the recipient installed?

I believe you will have to have S/MIME certificates for both the sender and recipient. Further, the sender has to have knowledge of the recipient's public key. The easiest way to accomplish this is to have each party (both sender and recipient) send a "signed" message (which sends the signers public key).

Just an opinion about S/MIME verses PGP (if you care): S/MIME support is included in all modern mail clients that I'm aware of, where as PGP will require add ons to nasty kludges. So unless you need the features of PGP, I'd suggest that you stick with S/MIME.
