SYMPTOMS
========

When you send a message from a Microsoft Exchange client for Windows with
attachments and Digital Signature encryption enabled, if the send fails due to a
mailbox limitation error and you send the message again, the Digital Signature
will overwrite the body of the message. This will result in a message being sent
without a body.


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Exchange clients
listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Microsoft
Exchange Server 4.0 U.S. Service Pack 2. For information on obtaining the
service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
