Hi all,

I am testing out the use of digital certificate within email.

I created a .pfx certificate using the standard "keytool" program from SUN.
After importing this certificate successfully into IE, I tried to use
Outlook Express with it.  Even though OE was able to find this digital
certificate successfully, it also issued a warning message: "You do not
trust this account's Digital ID."

I am unable to proceed to send the email.  How I do I get OE to trust this
certificate?

Thanks
