While it would be great if everyone used PGP, I don't think you can guarantee that interim SMTP servers (of which there could be several on your email's path to its recipient) will communicate with each other over TLS, or that your end user will download the email over a secure connection either. So, wiretapping your email is definitely that can happen even if you send it securely.
