Open the email client, Messenger, and send a signed and encrypted email to
yourself.

When you receive the email, open it, and check the message to see if it is signed
and encrypted.

and it should indicate that the message is signed and encrypted.

1.
Open the security information window.

Click Certificates and then click Mine.

database.
