Forwarding Errors

You Receive an Error Message When You Try to Forward or to Reply to a Digitally Signed E-Mail Message

When you try to forward or reply to a digitally signed e-mail message from a mail account without a digital ID in Outlook Express, you receive the following error message:

You do not have a digital ID

This problem occurs because
Outlook Express tries to send the e-mail message with a digital signature even if there is not a digital ID present for the forwarding mail account.

To work around this problem,
turn off the Digitally sign option before you reply or forward the digitally signed e-mail message. To do this, follow these steps:

1. After you click the Reply or the Forward buttons on the e-mail message, click the Tools menu.

2. Verify that the Digitally sign check box is not selected. Click to clear the Digitally sign check box if it is selected.

3. Click Send.
