OK, John; perhaps I'm missing something, BUT, which version of 'GnuPG'
are You using?  Are You 'Exporting" both the Secret & Public Key to the
GnuPG Keyring?

You appear to be using Outlook XP and unless you're using the
appropriate version of GnuPG that could be the issue.  Personally; I
require more information about the Installation and parameters being
used to offer advice.

Now; under the Heading of " Not What I Want to Hear"; might I suggest
You switch from Outlook v. 9 to Thunderbird w/Enigmail?  Would this
change screw up an Enterprise environment?
