You can use the digital signature to capture the sender's public key. Then if you want to send encrypted mail to that person, you have his/her public key to do so.

Digital IDs only let the recipient know that the email came from a trusted source. You shouldn't need anything to open correct? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Woodruff, Michael Sent: Friday, December 19, 2003 2:56 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Lotus Notes Digital ID opening in Outlook No, I just get an email from him and the little icon on the left has an envelope with a little red ribbon on it. It will not let me see anything in the email. I can however open it up in webmail. I'm lost. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Fretz Sent: Friday, December 19, 2003 2:50 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Lotus Notes Digital ID opening in Outlook Gotcha.

In this is a digital certificate. It says I can use it to read his mail. I installed the cert., but still no go. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Fretz Sent: Friday, December 19, 2003 2:41 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Lotus Notes Digital ID opening in Outlook Why are they sending you Digital IDs? In Lotus Notes speak, the .id file is an encrypted file that contains all of the configuration information and user information about you. Therefore you can take this .id file to another machine and use it to do 80% of the setup on the new Notes client. As far as I know, Outlook knows nothing about these .id files and frankly has no use for them. INAE and I could be totally wrong.

When we try to open the message we get this error. "Can't open this item. Your Digital ID name can not be found by the underlying security system." I am not familiar with digital signatures on Lotus Notes or on Exchange for that matter. I am assuming the sender is supposed to send a public key for the recipient to use to open the message? Is anyone familiar with this that can give me some advice? Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang =english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&; lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
