can not send signed/encrypted emails

Hello,

I am not able to send signed/encrypted emails from Windows Mail. Although
the certificate is correct and valid and I can sign emails using Outlook
Express / Office 2003 / Office 2007 with the very same certificate.

The certificate is from Thawte.

The error is "The message could not be send. An error has occured."

I can send any emails that are not signed/encrypted without any problems...

Any idea?

Thanks,
jb

I have the same problem. I used a smartcard (and CSP module of course)
for the singing of email.

usually, by using Windos XP Outlook/Outlook Expresso, as I want to sign a
email,
a PIN input dialog will be showed, I can input my PIN for the smartcard.
But in Windows Mail for Vista, the PIN input dialog would NOT displayed,
then it
is not possible to input my PIN, then email could not signed.

I logged the CSP function calls of Windows Mail.

I wrote a small test program that called the same CSP functions.
In this case I could sign data. The PIN dialog was displayed correctly.


Is it possible that the Vista Pop-Up Blocker blocked the CSP PIN dialog?
Any idea?

thanks
