Re: Can't send signed messages from Windows Mail

Hi A.J.
Could you please elaborate on the solution.
I am having the same problem as you originally described but I do not know
where to fix this issue with regards to "cgn keys" and signing mechanism.

Best regards

Hi,

Try this one:

At the server security option from account section choose the right
certificate for digital signing and encryption.

After that choose at the encryption strenght the RC2 128-bit instead of
default 3 DES.

If it fails, try all these steps on the Vista Windows Mail Options -
Security section.

Kind regards.

Hi A.J. and Patrik,

Me too. I don't see anywhere in Windows Mail to set legacy or cgn keys.
Where did this setting come from?
