I'm using an old laptop computer that is running Windows 98 and Outlook Express 5. In setting up Outlook Express I have noticed that it requires that I use a digital ID in order for me to send and receive messages securely. This is the only version of Outlook that I've come across that requires this. Other versions of Outlook are able to be set up with SSL without requesting a digital ID.
I often use attachments with E-mails that I send and receive. Does SSL affect whether or not these attachments are secure, or does SSL only secure the actual E-mail message contents that are sent/received, and not the attachments that are sent with the E-mails?
I care more about securing the attachments rather than the message contents of the E-mails that I receive. I'm tempted to just set up Outlook without SSL. But if I do this, will the attachments for the E-mails that I receive be unprotected?
Thanks for your time, and I appreciate any help that anyone is willing to offer on this matter.
