Wait. I don't think we're on the same page here. I'm talking about
message
signing (which does not require the receiving end to have any key - it's
the
same plain text e-mail with a blob after it) while you refer to actually
encrypting the message. Mm? Or am I being extremely slow today? :-)

Only when you assume that Exchange would pass signed messages without
corrupting them. It really is that broken.


figured the encryption would be kind of a last resort situation..but if it's
that broken to where it wont pass it along without corrupting, then the best
solution is to figure out what Microsoft needs in terms of encoding, i.e. is
there a way to have the scanner scan but not throw everything around after
it scans.(if this is what it's doing)

The link I posted earlier seems to give the impression that
quoted-printable might do that. I may have misread that, though...

Valeo



make sense.. Im wondering if it's a simple tell microsoft to scan the original email, take the garbled copied email and send out the original email rather than updating exchange etc...
