Michael,
Thanks for your reply.
I ran some additional tests, and was able to get things working
properly, in terms of signing e-mails, and not getting the error
message. You were correct, it was case sensitivity. The problem
still exists, however, if I read an e-mail that has an invalid
signature (or one that Apple mail thinks is invalid), and then I try
and compose a new mail message, I'm prevented from signing or
encrypting the e-mail.
I guess we'll just have to deal with that, and hope we don't get too
many invalid signatures.
Thanks,
Ryan

The number one problem when encrypting messages is trying to send
email to an email address that does not exactly match that in a
certificate in your keychain. It often happens that people using
certain email clients can send email with a from address that does
not match there certificate and therefore you can't reply to that
address. The standard is case-sensitive and OS X Mail follows the
standard.

I've searched the list, and googled, and still haven't found help
for this issue. I know there's been a lot of discussion on using
CAC's with apple mail. I'm trying to use an ECA certificate with
Apple Mail, and I'm running into 2 problems.
1. Any message signed using a Verisign ECA certificate, shows up
in Apple mail "Unable to verify message signature". Clicking on
show details, just notes that there was a problem reading the
digital signature. I've trusted the root, the CA, and even
explicitly trusted the actual cert, and i still get this error
message.
2. I can't reply to any signed message using encryption and/or
digitally signing it. Both the signing and encryption icons are
grayed out. These icons are also grayed out if I try and compose
a new message, when the last message I read was one that gave me
the digital signature error. The work around for the latter
problem, is I have to first select a non-signed message, and then
compose a new signed memo, however, this won't work if i'm trying
to reply to someone that sent me a signed e-mail.
