Encrypt Button Status in Outlook VBA ..Tough one..

[Cliff Reeser]

I am writing a Plug in for Office that intercepts outgoing secure email.

I have an Application Object that is of Type
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application. However, I cannot find the
status of the Outlook msg encrypt or sign button. Can anyone help?

You can't programmatically play with encryption or signature options. It's a
security feature to stop viruses / hackers signing emails with your
certificate

Thanks for your response. Do you have inside information that this
cannot be done, or have you looked for this and and hit a brick wall? I
am sorry to verify, but my job depends on it.

Thanks,
