Outlook Security Settings

[Sonal Bhide via OfficeKB.com]

How can I obtain Outlook Security settings (Tools -> Options -> Security
Tab) programmatically?

Egs of these are:
1. Zone settings
2. Encrypt contents and attachment for outgoing messages
3. Add digital signature to outgoing messages
4. Send clear text signed message when sending signed messages
5. Request secure receipt for all S/MIME signed messages

Thanks,
Sonal

Those are all settings that are derived from the IE settings. You'd have to
query IE for that if that can be done or examine the registry to find the
settings. An IE programming group might know more about how to get those
settings.

The 'Zone Settings' could definitely be an IE setting. Aren't the other
ones e-mail related? Would IE have e-mail related settings?

The zone security settings are all IE. The only Outlook specific thing there
is putting Outlook in the restricted zone.

Are these settings also IE related?

Encrypt contents and attachment for outgoing messages
Add digital signature to outgoing messages
Send clear text signed message when sending signed messages
Request secure receipt for all S/MIME signed messages

Those are all stored in the registry somewhere, but I have no idea where.
You'd have to use something like RegMon to see what gets changed when you
change those settings.
