Hi Thujan, I am having some difficulty understanding everything you said. As an experiment, however, I just installed a certificate and will click the "Sign" button in this message window in Outlook Express before I send this message, and see what OE does. (OE has an option to activate S/MIME "opaque signing" that it says is not supported by all mailers.. I did not enable that option for this test.) Asa
