How to add button to received e-mail message?

[ryotyankou via OfficeKB.com]

If you received a message signed or encrypted by the sender, you will see a
button with a signature or encryption icon at right of the e-mail view dialog.
While click on it, it will pop up a dialog, "digital signatrue: Valid", and
show the message's subject and sender, and have a "detailed..." and a close
button. If you click on "detailed.."button, it will show "Message Security
Properties".
My question is that Is it possible for me to add such a button, and show the
same dialog(of course, signer may be not same) on it?

No, that area of the inspector is not customizable.

You can add any sort of button you want but it would have to be in the menus
or toolbars (or ribbon for Outlook 2007). To add it to another place you
would need to use Win32 API calls to overlay your window (with button) where
you want it and to handle all clicks on the button using handling and
callbacks for Windows messages directed to that window.

Any button you add can open whatever dialogs you want, you just have to
create them. Whether or not you can get at the information you want is
another story, in most cases signed/encrypted message properties are hidden
from the Outlook object model.
