I have just upgraded from XP & Outlook 2002 to WM and following advise from
others on this discussion exported the mail to Outlook express first and then
migrated to WM.

It has generally worked except I can no longer read any of my signed messages.

When I try to read them I get the following error:-

"There was an error decoding this message. The message header contains
invalid data."

Each message has been converted into an attachment with the name 'smime.p7m'.

Does anyone know how to either

a) Migrate the mail from Outlook 2002 to WM so that signed messages can be
read
or
b) Know of a file reader that can read p7m format messages - the only one I
found so far (p7m viewer from cryptigo) doesn't appear to wrok in Vista.



Thanks in anticipation.

Adrian.

Outlook 2002 will run under Vista, although with a few problems. If you
have an unused license for it, try installing it under Vista and using it to
read
those messages.
