MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008How to delete digital signatures from email folders and archive .p
Those digital signature waste storage space in my email folders. How can I remove all the digital signatures stored in my email folders? I don't want to remove all attachments, just the digital signatures. Thanks. Outlook XP/2002 > Those digital signature waste storage space in my email folders. > > How can I remove all the digital signatures stored in my email > folders? > > I don't want to remove all attachments, just the digital signatures. Care to explain what you mean with this?  SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Digital Signature Layer. Has an icon of a Red Ribbon over an envelope. It's supposed to verify the email came from the sender. Which is wonderful for security. When I received the email, the message shows up in my email list with a paper clip to signify attachment. After I receive the email with digital signature layer, it is a waste of storage space to hold on to these digital signatures. I would like to remove all the red ribbons from my email folders. I don't see any option, right click menu option, etc, to delete these. The help file doesn't have an answer to this question. How do I remove the digital signatures(layer) attachments from my stored email? Thanks. Lara > Care to explain what you mean with this? > Digital Signature Layer.

A digital signature is a very small addition to a message and doesn't add significantly to the message size, so why fret? On top of that, I doubt it can be removed. That would negate its purpose. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] I posted this question to find out how to remove the attachments. After I receive the message, there is no reason to keep the signature with it. Perhaps Microsoft can provide an answer. Another problem I have with digital signatures showing as attachments: I can't sort my email by messages with genuine attachments. > > Digital Signature Layer.

SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] To get rid of the red ribbon you must change the item's MessageClass property, turn it from "IPM.Note.SMIME.MultipartSigned" back to "IPM.Note". But off head I can't tell you how to identify the attachment for sure. If you have only a few items to edit you could do it manually with OutlookSpy from www.dimastr.com.
