Re: Digital ID problems

Since the Sent Items version is OK, compare that to the one you get back
in the Inbox. You can look at the Message Source (Ctrl-F3) for the two.

There will be some additional headers in the Inbox, in particular
"Received;" headers which are inserted by each mail server that the
message passes through.

There may also be headers inserted by any anti-virus or anti-spam
program that the message is processed by. These are the likely
culprits.

What you particularly want to look for are changes in the MIME
Content-type headers.

Thanks for the response Mike. The copy in Sent is correct and opens
when the
encryption password is used (I use strong encryption requiring
password
entry for all encrypted messages) but the received copy does not. I've
shut
down my email scanners looking for any malware. ll have to contact my
host
provider to see if the SMTP or POP service is doing something I'm not
aware
of.

Do you see the same results with the message in your Sent Items
folder
that you sent?

If that's OK, then something may be altering the message in transit.
I
your mail coming in via an Exchange mail server? That can have some
issue with S/MIME.

Other potential culprits include anti-virus scanning of e-mail or
anti-spam programs.

Recently after one of the security updates to OE the receipt of
encrypted email changed. In the past the email that has been
encrypted
was part of the body of the message. Now the message comes as an
attachment with a suffix of ".p7m" with no way to open it. I've
tested
this with my own Digital ID that is stored as the primary ID in OE
and
the result is the same.
Can anyone help in this?

Thanks in advance.

Ken
