I wouldn't know of a reason when it would fail _and_ still encrypt the message. Actually, if there is a bug in that part of the code, the message would be sent unencrypted - there is no try/catch. I don't fully understand what you mean with a Windows 7 system. Does it happen for mails that you sent out, or mails that you received? -Patrick
