Windows Mail Security Warning ???

I have Vista (I hate Vista) I do not see a button at the top that says sign
at the top. I cannot unclick it as I do not see it. I have never seen this
must have digital id before today. I send emails to these people everday. Now
it tells me I cannot send them without the digital ID. Can you help me,
please.?
 
On the top of your e-mail toward the right is the word HELP.
Below that, on the blue bar are 3 icons.
The second from the right is ENCRYPT, the third from the right is DIGITALLY
SIGN.
If either or both of those icons are enclosed by a block "box" around them,
they have been selected. Click on the icon(s) that has the black line
surrounding it to remove the black line and you should be OK. The use of
digital signing or encryption will cause the symptom you describe.

If the OP did not click the Sign button, he may have inadvertently changed
his settings:
Tools, Options, Security, uncheck "Digitally sign..."

I just attempted to send an email and got the following message:

Security Warning:
You do not have a digital ID. If you send this message, it will be sent
properly, but you will not be able to read it in your sent items folder.
Send anyway?
the only options are YES and NO.

Ive been using windows mail two months and this is the first time I've seen
this. Has anyone any idea what Microsoft is up to now?

There is also an option to digitally sign in your messge tools. On the
toolbar directly above the toolbar. I am having similar problems, and am
getting ready to check my port address but it will take me awhile becaue
unclicking the various selections for digital signatures hasn't worked. felix
 
Bob, you are awesome! This is the best, descriptive fix I've found in the
Discussion Groups. I am on my 3rd week working with a new laptop with Vista
and Windows Mail and am totally frustrated with both. Thank you again!
 
This is the most useful part of vista that I have found. If I keep working
with Vista
I am actually like it! I really appreciate the help.

This is the one that helped me!
Thanks a bunch!
So simple...yet no clue as to how I checked that stupid digitally sign to
begin with. Last time, I had to save the email in drafts, click out of
windws mail, then go back into it, before I could send the e-mail. This was
sooo much easier. :-)
