KB - No longer prompted to ZIP attachments

Issue

When sending an email you are no longer prompted to ZIP attachments.

Check Smartcrypt Settings

If you are not being prompted for all attachments, do you have ZIP Attachments enabled under Smartcrypt Options | Mail | General?

If you are only prompted for certain attachments, check the mail filter under Smartcrypt Options | Mail | General |Attachment Filter. Check to see if your file type is being excluded from the prompt.

Check Outlook Settings
