Outlook 2011 Read A P7m Attachment
I have an Outlook addin which handles outgoing emails using the ItemSend event. As part of the handling I read the body and attachments of the outgoing email. When the user encrypts the email mess. I often use Yahoo's web mail server to read and write e-mail, move sent e-mail from my Yahoo sent box to Yahoo inbox, and later download it all into Outlook 2010. When I send a PDF attachment to someone and later download my own e-mail, Outlook 2010 shows the clippy icon saying that there's an attachment, but Outlook 2010 doesn't display the.

Well, you could switch to Mail.app - as it has no problems with signed messages.
At least, I have not have had any problems with it the last 1-2 years...
Maybe PGP signing is a problem?
Mail.app even signs / encrypts the message for you if you have a certificate in your keychain... :-)

E-mail is many things, but, unfortunately, 'safe' is not one of them.
There is an old saw that you should never send something in e-mail that you
would mind seeing on the front page of the New York Times, and that's as
true today as it was when e-mail first became popular in the 90's. E-mail
(and, in fact, all Internet traffic) travels through many servers between
your computer and its final destination, all belonging to strangers. And
while it's true that the sheer volume of e-mail that travels the 'net these
days is probably enough to keep yours safe even if someone does care enough
to snoop, I still wouldn't send a credit card number or the PIN for my ATM
card through e-mail.
This is a long-standing problem that has yet to be fully addressed by
standards, but there is a solution, albeit one that requires you and your
e-mail partner to take some steps. You can get a free digital certificate
that will allow you to digitally 'sign' your e-mails and allow others to
send you encrypted e-mail. You can also send encrypted e-mail to anyone who
sends their certificate to you.
This all sounds more complicated than it is. Basically, the steps are to
sign up for a certificate, install that certificate (handled automatically
for you by the Mac), then start using it. If someone sends you their
certificate in e-mail, you simply have to tell your e-mail program to save
it (again, handled automatically if you use Mail, and requiring one step if
you use Entourage).
You can get a free certificate from a company called Thawte
(http://www.thawte.com) and can find the complete instructions (and what is
probably a better explanation than the one I just provided) here:

The direct page for the free e-mail certificate is here:

This hint is nonsense. All mainstream e-mail applications will work with s/mime messages. As a previous commenter noted, Mail.app works perfectly. Also, Thunderbird works, and Entourage works, and eudora works.
I suspect that the author of this hint was using Hotmail or something. This is not a Mac hint! Hotmail doesn't read s/mime messages on windows either! Use a real e-mail client!

I have found that if you save a S/MIME e-mail message from Entourage you can open it in Mozilla to decrypt it. I have a mail rule for emails that contain smime attachments. The rule triggers an AppleScript to save the message and then open it in Mozilla. It is not the most elegant solution, but it works for the few signed e-mails I receive every month.
Well, it also works that way if you are using Claris eMailer...
Sorry, but please move over Eudora. Even Microsoft Applications can handle S/MIME nowadays. I would still suggest to keep away from Microsoftware. Instead user the wonderful Mail.app or Thunderbird!

There is no working S/MIME plugin available for current Eudora on MacOS X. Entrust's docs are pretty clear that they support up through Eudora 5.0.2 and MacOS 9. Sadly, Qualcomm's SDK for plugins also seems to be rather outdated for the Mac and seems to demand CodeWarrior. That reduces the audience for writing such a plugin, since the free dev tools for Mac OS X are perfectly suitable for that sort of work.
Eudora for Mac was neglected by Qualcomm from 2004 onwards, before they let it go completely. Perhaps it's time for the OP to update his mail client?

There is an Entrust plug-in for Eudora. We use it at work.
AFAIK the Entrust plugin is not available for private person, only companies can buy it.

What is a P7M file?
Files with the .P7M extension contain encrypted message contents and potential attachments in accordance with the PKCS#7, which stands for Public Key Cryptography Standards no. 7. The files contain S/MIME type data, which stands for Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions, a secure version of MIME.
Sending messages in this format prevents unauthorized access to them, as opening such messages usually requires entering a password – namely a private key that matches the public key assigned to the message. This format is, for example, used to transfer sensitive medical or financial information.

How to open P7M files
If you cannot open the P7M file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports P7M among those that are installed on your device.
Outlook 2011 Read A P7m Attachment
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the P7M file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the P7M format files
The inability to open and operate the P7M file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Digitally Encrypted Message file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a P7M file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the P7M file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the P7M from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the P7M format
- The P7M file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the P7M file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a P7M file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the P7M file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the P7M file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the P7M file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

How to associate the file with an installed software?
Outlook 2011 Read A P7m Attachment Password
If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. my-file.P7M) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected P7M file. From the drop-down menu select 'Choose default program', then click 'Browse' and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK. The second and more difficult to do is associate the P7M file extension to the corresponding software in the Windows Registry.
Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. P7M) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.
