Thanks, I'll play around with this a little to see what warnings you are
talking about.

   Yes, you disabled the warnings.  At least if you don't see them you did.
The only way not to see these is to check the box to never show them again
when they are displayed for a signed and/or encrypted email.

   Your other random deletions have nothing to do with the warnings you
disabled and as I wrote before, your random deletions will have nothing but
a random effect.

   Deleting the values I described will restore the warnings you disabled.
You still can read signed or encrypted email after you click on Continue in
the warning.

  I deleted the warnings? I deleted the directory services that come
  preconfigured in OE because I really don't want OE to go off talking to
  these services without my permission (OE is only allowed to talk to my
mail
  servers and this news server so all that would do is generate a firewall
  popup). I still get signed email and can read it just fine.

  Sometimes, and as I stated I don't recall if it's OE or Outlook on my work
  machine, I get a warning that a signed email is not properly signed or
  something to that effect but I've never investigated why.

  what exactly would deleting the below registry entries accomplish? Do
those
  stop just the popup warning about a signed email I mentioned or would they
  stop me from being able to open signed emails?

     Since you appear to have disabled the warnings for signed email in OE
and
  you would like them, you can restore them by deleting one or two values
  under

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}\Software
  \Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0\Dont Show Dialogs where
  {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} is the unique ID for your identity.
  The value names to delete are "Digital Signature Help" and
"Encryption
  Help".

    I said I use OE here at home because I don't remember where I get the
    message about an email not being properly signed (I believe I've seen it
  on
    both). I use Outlook 2000 at work, the mailing lists with signed emails
  get
    received at both locations.

    It was just meant as information, not proof of anything. sheeze...

       I don't know if you are lying or just an idiot.  In the message to
  which
    I replied you explicitly referred to Outlook not Outlook Express.  In
your
    post that started this thread you were quoting from a KB article that
    explicitly referred to an earlier release of Outlook and had nothing to
do
    with Outlook Express.  Are you forgetting your own claims or maybe
trying
  to
    change the topic because you failed to support your earlier whines.

       For Outlook Express, unless you disable it there is a warning
displayed
    for every signed message and you must click on a Continue button to see
  the
    actual message.  If you aren't seeing the warning then you choose not
to.
  I
    don't know what it is you deleted but I see no reason that your random
    deletion of anything would have anything but a random effect.

      I'm using Outlook Express not Outlook to read most of these. Under
      "accounts" and then "directory services" I've
deleted everything that
  was
    in
      there, would that have any effect on signed emails?

         If Outlook is telling you that they are not properly signed then
you
    are
      getting S/MIME email though as pointed out to you, not properly signed
      S/MIME.  It may actually be that they are signed properly but chained
to
  a
      trusted root authority that you do not trust.  I don't remember if I
  ever
      noticed in Outlook XP or earlier but wit Outlook 2003 you can tell
  Outlook
      to not display a message that is not validly signed.  This is in
  addition
    to
      the option to display signed messages as text or the warnings
displayed
    when
      you have display non-signed messages as text and you received a signed
      non-text message.
