I have XP SP2 and Outlook 2002. I am getting the following error when I try
to open a digitally signed message for a mail group I'm a member of. I
currently do not have a digital signature, but a couple of others in the
group do and they are getting the same error message. Anyone have any ideas
on what to check?

Error: Can't open this item. An error occurred in the underlying security
system.

Thanks!
Cindy

Hi Cindy,
You may want to post this in the newsgroups for Microsoft Outlook.
microsoft.public.outlook.general
microsoft.public.outlook.installation
microsoft.public.outlook
microsoft.public.outlook.bcm (business Contact Manager)
microsoft.public.outlook.contacts
microsoft.public.outlook.calendaring
microsoft.public.outlook.fax
microsoft.public.outlook.interop
microsoft.public.outlook.program_addins
microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms
microsoft.public.outlook.program_vba
microsoft.public.outlook.teamfolders
microsoft.public.outlook.thirdpartyutil

There are a couple more, but these are the main ones that relate to
Windows. I would try the General newsgroup first then maybe the interop
one.

HTH.
Patrick.
