Rule print message does not work with encrypted message!

Is there a way to create a rule to print incomming emails that are encrypted?
If I use a rule and an encrypted email commes in I get the error message:
"This digitaly signed email cannot be opened in an UI-less mode". I have a
lot of encrypted emails comming in. Do I need a script for this? I am a
novice in outlook scripting.
Any help will do.
thanks

Like the warning says, code can't interact with encrypted messages. You
pretty much can't do anything in code with those messages - for darn good
reasons.

Eric, Thanks for your response. I know this has a purpose, but I have the
private key to decrypt the message. My public key was used to encrypt the
message. Why can I not automate what I can do manualy?

If you were a part of the Outlook product group, wouldn't you want to stay
far, far away from exposing secure messages to a programming interface that's
an open route for hackers to exploit? Especially after Microsoft has been
hammered for security issues over the years, and given Outlook's unfortunate
part of this history (Melissa, I Love You, etc.) - it makes perfect sense.
