When I send an encrypted message to a user, the default behavior (as I
understand it) is for Outlook to determine the public key for each
recipient and use the public key found there to encrypt the message.
Outlook 2003 on my machine does not do that. It gleefully sends the
email out using my own public key and thus no matter who I send an
encrypted email to they cannot read it. I KNOW I have recipients in my
Outlook Address book with their certificates clearly indicated but when
I send to them - nada - it's encrypted using my key.
What the heck? My cube-neighbor has the same version and his works fine
- SAME EXACT options selected in Outlook. Also - when he sends and
encrypted email to a person for which he has no cert - he gets a nasty
pop-up telling him he cannot proceed. But on my machine - the email
goes out - encrypted using my cert - and unreadable by the recipient.
Any thoughts?
