SYMPTOMS
When you receive a signed and sealed (encrypted) message with an
attachment, the icon indicating that the message has an attachment does not
appear. However, when you forward that message without encryption, the
paper clip icon (which denotes an attachment) will appear.
CAUSE
An encrypted message has its properties, including attachments, removed.
All that remains is the encrypted TNEF (which contains the properties that
were encrypted). This means that the Exchange client does not know that an
encrypted message contained attachments because the attachment properties
have been deleted.
Additional query words: encryption security
