I, too, have been trying S/MIME since reading the recent posts, and
now have some questions for the list.

I've been swapping around with 1.60c and 1.60h (and now 1.60i), and
I'm not sure whether I've tried everything below with each version.

1. I think I am correctly signing emails, using CryptoAPI. They certainly
appear signed in TB!, but when I sent a message to my work email and
checked it at work (where I am forced to use Outlook 98), the text was
present with no signature. It's possible that the company firewall
stripped the signature as a disallowed attachment.

So, is this email properly signed?


2. I got a certificate for my work email and sent a signed message
home. No problem. I right-clicked on the signature icon and imported
it. That appeared to work, and I could view the signature in the
"Other people" tab in the Internet options. But when I tried to send
an encrypted message to my work address, the certificate couldn't be
found. I started up Outlook Express, and got the same problem.

I went back to the signed message, and saved the certificate to the
desktop, opened up Internet Options and imported it. Now I can encrypt
with that certificate.

Is this a bug in the import process, or did I do something wrong?


3. Now I've succeeded in sending an encrypted message, but I can't
read it myself. I thought the relevant setting was "Always encrypt to
sender's certificate". I have this set (and had it set when I sent the
encrypted message).

Is this a bug or did I do something wrong?
