Couple of possibilities.
The message you encrypt (/tmp/t4) must have valid MIME headers or if you
include the -text option plain text headers will be added automatically.
Secondly your version of Outlook (more specifically CryptoAPI) must
support 3DES encryption. You may need to obtain the domestic security
patch (aka 128 bit patch) from MS site somewhere. The about box in MSIE
should have a link to the relevant page.
