This update fixes the following issues, not previously
documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
You cannot reply with encrypted messages if Lotus Notes has dual certificates
When you receive a digitally signed message from a Lotus Notes R5
client that uses dual certificates in Outlook Express, one for signing only and
one for encryption, you cannot encrypt the message back to the sender. Also,
you cannot add the sender or the sender's certificate (digital ID), to your
contacts.
You cannot delete individual newsgroup messages from the local .dbx (Filestorage)
You cannot delete a Newsgroup message from your local file store
on your hard disk.
Note After you install the Cumulative Update for Outlook Express 6.0
SP1, you must select the message, and then click
Delete to delete a Newsgroup message from you local file store.
You receive an error message for an invalid digital ID when you send messages that are signed with Esign certificates
When you use Outlook Express 6.0 SP1 to send a message that is
signed with a signing only Esign certificate, you may receive an error message
for an invalid digital ID. If you ignore this error message and send the
message, the message is sent as expected. This issue does not occur if you
import the twin Esign encryption only certificate (of the dual certificate
pair).
Outlook Express does not save the default attachment path
When you use Outlook Express, the default attachment path is not
saved.
Long Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) that wrap in the body of a message may break
When you use long URLs in the body of a message, the URL may
break if it wraps. This also occurs when the URL contains two dashes followed
by a space ("-- ").

Outlook Express may stop responding (hang) when you click
