I made my first attempt at an Infopath form today - user A fills it out from
the SharePoint site and hits submit, which sends an email to user B.  The
problem is that when user B tries to open the received form, he is asked to
put his smart card in the reader.  Once he does this the form opens properly,
however I would like for this step not to be necessary.  
I tried setting the option to 'always use this account' under 'Manage
Credentials', but that doesn't seem to have helped the issue.  Can anyone let
me know how I can get around this?

Thanks,
Tara

It sounds like the user is being asked to authenticate with SharePoint, and
therefore needs their smartcard to login.
Is the document library secured?  The form template in Sharepoint needs to
be accesssed by each user who opens the form and that is probably causing the
authentication.

Try having a user go to the document library directly from IE and see if
they have to authenticate.
