Recently after one of the security updates to OE the receipt of encrypted email changed. In the past the email that has been encrypted was part of the body of the message. Now the message comes as an attachment with a suffix of ".p7m" with no way to open it. I've tested this with my own Digital ID that is stored as the primary ID in OE and the result is the same.
Can anyone help in this?

Thanks in advance.

Do you see the same results with the message in your Sent Items folder
that you sent?

If that's OK, then something may be altering the message in transit. I
your mail coming in via an Exchange mail server? That can have some
issue with S/MIME.

Other potential culprits include anti-virus scanning of e-mail or
anti-spam programs.

Thanks for the response Mike. The copy in Sent is correct and opens when the
encryption password is used (I use strong encryption requiring password
entry for all encrypted messages) but the received copy does not. I've shut
down my email scanners looking for any malware. ll have to contact my host
provider to see if the SMTP or POP service is doing something I'm not aware
of.

Since the Sent Items version is OK, compare that to the one you get back
in the Inbox. You can look at the Message Source (Ctrl-F3) for the two.

There will be some additional headers in the Inbox, in particular
"Received;" headers which are inserted by each mail server that the
message passes through.

There may also be headers inserted by any anti-virus or anti-spam
program that the message is processed by. These are the likely
culprits.

What you particularly want to look for are changes in the MIME
Content-type headers.
