SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • You run Microsoft Outlook Web Access on a computer on which Secure/MIME (S/MIME) is installed.
  • You use Outlook Web Access to attach a digitally-signed e-mail attachment to an e-mail message that is not digitally signed.
In this scenario, when the message recipient receives the e-mail message, that recipient experiences one of the following symptoms:
  • If the e-mail message was sent without information in the message body, the message is received as an opaque-signed message.
  • If the e-mail message was sent with information in the message body, the message is received without the e-mail attachment.
Therefore, you cannot successfully send a digitally-signed e-mail attachment to a recipient by using Outlook Web Access from a computer on which S/MIME is installed.
