Thanks Peter.

I was able to do exactly what you suggested.  The only oddity was that
the exported certificate from Outlook was still a .pfx format; however,
it forced me to put a password on the certificate.  When I imported in
Evolution with the password it worked flawlessly.  I almost wonder if
there is some problem with importing certificates that do not have a
password?

Thanks again.
