Has anybody found a read "signed" mail in OWA 2007? On a PC it asks me to install an ActiveX control...

I know this isn't an entourage question but it was as close as I could find.

I just tried with an Exchange 2003 server (OWA "light" interface).
Signed e-mails appear with a little ribbon, indicating that they are
signed. If I open one, I get the following warning:
"This message has a digital signature. The digital signature could not
be validated because the S/MIME control is not available."

No reference to ActiveX, but it looks like the server is definitively
alcking something to properly validate the e-mail's signature for
Safari.

Your warning seems more precise. ActiveX not beeing supported on MacOS X
(wellllll there is rudimentary support in IE for Mac), it looks like
that's a feature we simply won't have,

I know but it's a good guide for the general topic of digital sigs.
