You need to know that Exchange is not an RFC822 application but an MAPI application (based on X.400). Exchange/Outlook uses MAPI for its data structures and to convey messages to recipients with an X.400 address (ie. other Exchange users in the the domain). Rfc822 addresses are merely properties of the MAPI message and used if the message needs to be send via SMTP; this is done by a transport provider which constructs a proper MIME message out of the MAPI message. Obviously there are some kludges in the system to allow sending of signed messages by taking great care not to modify the content. This is not documented but I did some experiments to see how it can be used to receive and send PGP/MIME. AFAIK, Microsoft tries to move away from MAPI - this will be a long process. It seems OL2010 supports new interfaces to allow applications to use these kludges - however I only briefly looked at it. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
