SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to send an encrypted e-mail message in Microsoft Outlook 2000, you may receive the following "Non-Secure Recipients" error message:

None of the recipients can process an encrypted message. You can either proceed with an unencrypted message or cancel the operation.



CAUSE
You are attempting to send an encrypted message to a recipient for whom you do not have a Digital ID.

-or-

You chose the recipient's e-mail address from the Global Address List (GAL) or another address source that did not insert the Digital ID.



RESOLUTION
You must use a Contact record that contains the recipient's Digital ID to address the message.



MORE INFORMATION
To send an encrypted message with Outlook, you must include the recipient's Digital ID. This information is necessary to encrypt and decrypt the message.

To obtain the Digital ID for an intended recipient, have them send you a "signed" e-mail message. When you receive the message, right-click the From field and click, Add To Contacts on the shortcut menu. This will add the sender to your Contacts list along with their Digital ID. If the sender is already in your Contacts list, it will update the existing record with the Digital ID.

To send an encrypted message, address the message by selecting the address from the contact record. This will include the necessary Digital ID with the message.
