1. I got my family 'hive' three digital ID's from http://www.comodogroup.com/

as in: [
https://secure.comodo.net/products/f...ailCertificate ]



2. An email was sent between all three people, that had been signed.



3. Next a test message was sent from me to one of this group with 'Encrypt'
set.



4. Logging in (same PC, different user) run Outlook Express (OE) and when
trying to read the mail I got this...

Message could not be displayed
Outlook Express encountered an unexpected problem while displaying this
message. Check your computer for low memory or low disk space and try again.

Outlook Express


5. So I tried with Sign and Encrypt "set."



6. I tried to send test mails to myself (I must have my own key).



7. Looking at the settings:



OE Tools Options {Security tab} [Digital IDs button]
{Personal tab} Click-on-cert. **8** [Advanced button]

Everything *but* Client Authentication and Secure Email is ticked. So these
two are NOT ticked...



**8.** If I'd double click on the certificate then {details tab} ...
Looking down the list two items have a warning triangle on them:-
(i) Key Usage
(ii) Basic Constraints

The other items have either a circle with green down arrow or a 'pencil' if
or indeed nothing 'on' them.



9. A little more info.
