Cannot Decrypt S/MIME Secure Mail Sent to Multiple Recipients

Messages sent to multiple recipients using S/MIME encryption cannot be decrypted by recipients using Outlook 98 and Outlook Express 4.01. This problem usually occurs when there are more than 15 recipients.

To fix this problem, run the Ol98qfe.exe program included in this service pack. The program replaces the file Inetcomm.dll on the computer running Outlook 98 or Outlook Express 4.01. You need to run the program on each client computer that is affected by the problem.

To run the program

1. Copy Ol98qfe.exe from the Eng\Support\Update\Smime directory of the Outlook 98 compact disc included in SP1 to a temporary directory on the client computer
2. Stop Outlook 98 and Outlook Express 4.01 before running Ol98qfe.exe.
3. Run the program. You can run Ol98qfe.exe in quiet mode by typing Ol98qfe /Q on the command line.
