    Hello,
    I use smart card for smart card logon on windows 2000 and XP.

    I use the smart card enrollment station to request a certificate and create
    the RSA key pair on my smart card.

    But now I would like to sign messages in Outlook with the private key stored
    on the smart card.
    Before I can sign a message, in Outlook I must select a certificate in tje
    properties of my account.
    I do so :
    Tools->Account->*My account*->Properties->Security.

    But here when I want to select the certificate by clicking on the button,
    the list of certificate is empty !
    But when I use IE to see the certificate that are stored on my PC, I can see
    the certificate that I want to choose is in the list.

    In fact, when I enroll, I have choose the template "Smartcard User" (not
    Smartcard Logon).
    The CA is a windows CA for our network.
    And in the certificate that is created in the field "subject name", I have
    only :
    CN=My Name

    Then I request a free certificate for signing email from Thawte for the same
    adress mail and in the certificate that I received, here is the subject :
    E=me@my-domain.com
    CN=My Name

    Afet installing this certificate, he is now in the list in Outlook and I can
    sign messages with this certificate.

    But I don't want to use a certificate from Thawte, I would like to do all
    (smart card logon and signing message) with the certificate from our CA.

    I think the problem comes from the fact that the subject name contain only
    my name and not my email...

    So how can I do to have my email adress in the subject name of the
    certificate using the enrollment station ?
    Is it something to configure in the enrollment station or in the template ?

    Thanks a lot for your help.
